When the Sea Lavender Blooms

A Nothing Truly Lost Adventure

Every pilot in Aurenmouth knows the rhyme that brings ships home. One line is missing a word, and none of them notice.

The story follows the Auren down to the sea, to a harbor city that plans its days around the tides. Take on jobs, meet the people who keep Aurenmouth running, and chase down the thing past the harbor mouth that everyone forgets the moment they look away.

What It Is
The third adventure in Nothing Truly Lost, after Where the Watermint Grows and What the Cardinal Flower Protects, and the first built to run across several sessions.
The Setting
Aurenmouth, where the Auren meets the sea. Barges come down from Ferryman’s Crossing, the coast road runs north to Sedgewick, and the lower quarters flood at spring tides.
The Shape
A harbor city to explore at your own pace, with side jobs to pick up and a mystery that comes together.
The Tone
Fey-adjacent and coastal, like the adventures before it, with a little more room for a fight.
“Come in on the flood and never the ebb, for the Bar takes a keel like a fly in a web.”
The Pilots’ Rhyme
