The Everdry Beach
The Everdry Beach is a largely sealess coastal area that serves as a natural barrier and transition zone between the inland terrain and the Infinite Sands . Its name derives from the fact that the sand remains mostly dry except during the occasional arrival of the Wave , a periodic tidal phenomenon unique to the region.
Features
- Dry Beach – The shoreline stays dry for most of the time, allowing easy traversal and settlement along its edge. The sand is coarse, sun-bleached, and dotted with fossilized shells and coral fragments.
- Best Viewing Spot for the Wave – Everdry Beach provides unobstructed views of the incoming Wave, making it a favored location for both locals and travelers seeking to witness the dramatic surge.
- Colorful Clams – Each Wave deposits a variety of vibrant clams and mollusks onto the beach. These creatures are often harvested for food, trade, or decorative purposes.
- Landmark: The Ribcage – A colossal, partially buried ribcage dominates the landscape. Its size and structure suggest it belonged to a divine beast, though its origin remains the subject of local myths and scholarly debate. The formation serves as both a sightseeing attraction and an orientation point for travelers navigating the coastline.
Ecology
Despite its proximity to the sea, Everdry Beach supports a surprisingly diverse ecosystem. Small crustaceans, hardy coastal plants, and migratory seabirds thrive here, taking advantage of the tidal deposits and nutrient-rich sands. The periodic arrival of the Wave briefly transforms the beach into a shallow, vibrant tidal pool ecosystem.
Cultural Significance
Everdry Beach is not only valued for its natural beauty but also holds spiritual and practical importance. The ribcage is often incorporated into local folklore and ceremonial activities, while the Wave itself is celebrated as a seasonal event that brings both resources and spectacle to the region.

Mizar and Alkor – Commonly referred to as the Twin-Capital, the cities Mizar and Alkor stretch between the Everdry Beach and the mountain region in the North. The twin-capital served as the political and cultural heart of Teel prior to the founding of the Free City of Teel by the Settlers . Built on opposite sides of the Tahr tideway, the two cities function as a unified metropolis connected through bridges, trade routes, and a shared administrative system.
