Miac'Briedio - City of Tides

Miac'Briedio is located on an island surrounded by a vast tidal flat. The daily tidal cycle provides both security against outside threats and supports the local fishing industry. The shallows, tides and currents in the nearby waters make it difficult for larger ships to anchor close to the city itself, but flat profiled skiffs and barges are a common sight ferrying goods and people in and out of the city at high tide.

City Totem

As with all Corinthean city states, Miac'Briedio, has a totem whom the locals revere as a lesser god figure. The particular totem of this city is that of a kelpie, a mythical horse like creature that has flowing seaweed for a mane and tail. it is said that these wild mounts can run or swim equally well in water of any depth. Sailors and fishers from Miac'Briedio will gift the local totem with sheaves of grain before departing the city on lengthy voyages, to seek its blessing for safe waters and favourable tides and winds.

Location

Merelean Coast, Corinthea

The city of Miac'Briedio is completely covers a saddle shaped island on the coast of Annexea where the land gives way to the Merelean Sea in wide shallows and tidal flats. The island has 20-30 metre high cliffs on the north-east and southern edges, rocky beaches along its eastern side, and gently slopes towards the middle and western side where the beaches are sandy. There is approximately 1.2 kilometres of sandy muddy flats between the island and the mainland, dotted with tidal pools and a lacework of channels which drain the water in to the sea at low tide.
