The Low Coast floods twice a day because a covenant nobody can enforce says somebody else should have maintained the wall. The seawall failed in stages; two hundred households live in buildings dry for roughly four hours at a time, on a water timetable more authoritative than any posted office schedule. The suborbital launch points are here, which is why every raid's final sprint runs through it. Salt Wake holds the real local power. The tide holds the rest.
