On the southwestern coast of Nova Scotia lies Yarmouth, once a major fishing port and the largest lobster fishing area in the world. Now, the port is a rustic ghost town and the peaceful coast is home to a graveyard of sunken ships, their rotting skeletons still jutting up from the depths of the sea. The town itself retains much of its historic charm though many tourist shops and seafood restaurants are starting to fall apart and rot from lack of upkeep and the forests of Serena Reserve to the north have begun to creep among the houses, reclaiming some of the land lost to humanity.
Barrington itself was a smaller community compared to Yarmouth and appears more easygoing and rural. Absent are the hundreds of drifting and sunken fishing boats and trendy tourist locations. Instead, the sloping hills and seaside cliffs are dotted with dozens of charming cottages and lighthouses. The waters around both towns are still heavily populated with lobsters year-round, with a peak season between July and October -- predators willing to put forth the effort for the delicacy can be rewarded with hundreds of pounds worth of shellfish.

A stretch of untamed paradise runs parallel to the coast, where scattered forest and lush green fields border sandy beaches hide a deep scar. Though the flora has grown over the dirtroads, Highway 103 was asphalt. Its cracked ghost still slices through the otherwise pristine wilderness, providing an easy, straight path between Yarmouth and Barrington. Four lanes are sparsely populated with the skeletons of decaying cars; weeds and hardy grasses forth from the cracks and crevices in the road. Overgrowth hangs thickly over both sides of the highway and dapples the highway with shadow.

Where a wide, marshy peninsula juts into the Atlantic Ocean, some of the foggiest Nova Scotian days are beheld. Vapor Sound, aptly named, is almost always draped in a thick layer of fog; this area has more days of hazy weather than anywhere else in the province. The peninsula itself is flat, consisting primarily of marshland and bogs. The trees are low and gnarled, arranged in sparse thickets; tangled and particularly thorny bushes comprise the underbrush of this territory. Vapor Sound is surrounded by water on three sides, and though Cape Sable Island lurks just off the coast, one can rarely see its shores for the haze.

The Spear Headlands are just north of Yarmouth. Here, the rocky shore juts proudly above the ocean. Rocky promontories, covered with hardy sea mosses, make up the majority of the shoreline in this coast. A tiny fishing village of ten or eleven homes nestles beside the sharpest cliff, its lighthouse dark for many decades. Perhaps the area's most unique feature is its abundance of marine life. Dolphins and whales frequent the waters, while the rocky beaches are frequently covered with thousands of barking seals. The abundance of such creatures is likely due to the high populations of lobster -- even a determined Luperci might be able to snag some of the crustaceans.
