The southern coast of SW Urok curves from Beauty Bay to the Gulf of Xoth, a stretch of shoreline that serves as the region's maritime gateway. South Reach isn't a political entity—no city-state claims it, no nation governs it—but rather a geographic term for the coastal strip and its scattered settlements.
Most traffic flows through Threshold, a rough harbor town at the midpoint of the coast. Threshold exists because it's useful: ships need somewhere to resupply, travelers need somewhere to rest, and merchants need somewhere to conduct business away from city-state tariffs. The town has all the vices sailors expect and all the services travelers need, governed loosely by a council of ship captains and innkeepers who agree on exactly one principle: Threshold stays neutral, or Threshold dies.
The Mneri River reaches the sea here, its mouth forming a natural harbor that Threshold has exploited for generations. Fishing villages dot the coast to either side, their catches feeding both the town and the trade ships that stop for provisions.
