Cabredo

Cabredo is known for three things: logging, shellfish, and the independence of its inhabitants. The remote, isolated city is battered by high winds and merciless tides, cut off from mainland Aveir by the Moncastro Mountains. Due to their isolationism and ancestry, the people of this area remain fiercely independent, and they maintain their own culture and beliefs, different from those of the mainland.
Unlike most Aveiran cities, which spiral out from a central hub, Cabredo emerged from the union of a wooded logging operation and a small beachside settlement. As a result, the city sprang up on either side of a road leading from the loggers to the docks. The majority of citizen make their living as loggers, while the rest work in support positions in town or on the fishing boats.
When the tide goes out during shellfish season, hundreds of people scour the beach on foot or venture out in boats. Cockles, clams, oysters, barnacles, and scallops all wash up on the beach by the thousands. This peculiar crop not only feeds the town, but is traded for a handsome income when merchant ships arrive.
The recently-built rail line that leads from Cabredo southward, across canyons and through tunnels to Miranor, has threatened the city's independent spirit. Now that Cabredo is much more accessible, the unique local culture appears to be being slowly watered down and assimilated.
