Seabreak

Seabreak is a fictional coastal town that appears as a setting in speculative fiction and tabletop role-playing games. It is commonly depicted as a port city built around a natural harbor, featuring a prominent breakwater and a working fishing fleet. The town is often described as temperate and windy, with foggy mornings that clear to sunny afternoons.

Geography and infrastructure: Seabreak sits on a sheltered inlet backed by low cliffs. The harbor is protected by a masonry breakwater, and a red lighthouse marks the entrance. The town’s streets mix cobblestone lanes with tide-adapted walkways, reflecting its maritime character.

Economy: The local economy centers on fishing, boatbuilding, and marine trades, supplemented by a seasonal market and a small tourism sector based on the harbor and nearby coastal trails.

History: In-universe lore portrays Seabreak as a fishing village that emerged in the medieval period and grew with the construction of the breakwater in the 17th century. It has endured storms and economic shifts, maintaining a relatively autonomous town council and local governance.

Culture: The community emphasizes seafaring skills, outdoor markets, and maritime festivals. Local cuisine features salted fish, seaweed, and shellfish. Notable features typically include the Seabreak Lighthouse and a small maritime museum.

In fiction: Writers use Seabreak to explore themes of resilience, trade, and coastal life, often situating it at the boundary between rugged wilderness and settled civilization.
