1631. On The Horizon
"Open Water sighted!" The call went out over and over from the archers. They had seen the mouth of the river on the horizon just like that. It felt like the trip down the river had been simple and short but in reality, it had hidden challenges and taken days just to get there.
But where there was some hardship in the journey, there would be benefits in the future. Genesis now had a dedicated water way through the river for ships, merchants, and the merfolk to move easily.
It might not have been as close to the merfolk city that was much further down the coast, but it was a great place to set up a small village or port city that would be directly connected to Genesis. This wasn't even mentioning the fact that it was creating a solid home for the merfolk who thrived in water.
