Stone and Salt

Greyhaven survives on two things: stone and salt. Eryn knows the rhythm of the salt flats better than anyone - the tides, the wind, the careful balance that turns seawater into the settlement's lifeblood. But when a shipment fails to arrive and a caravan is found burned on the inland road, that balance begins to fracture. Trade is the only thing keeping Greyhaven alive. Without it, tools stop coming, food reserves tighten, and the settlement becomes vulnerable in ways no wall can defend.
As tensions rise, Trade Warden Mara Keld begins to uncover a pattern behind the disruptions - one that suggests planning, coordination, and knowledge from inside Greyhaven itself. The attacks are not random. They are calculated. While the council argues over how to respond, the threat grows closer. Patrols are deployed, alliances strain, and quiet decisions begin to carry dangerous consequences. Because this isn't just about lost caravans.
It's about control. And someone is trying to break Greyhaven without ever laying siege to it.
