Type: Settlement

This is the first prompt where I used an extra article I created during this event but didn’t get used for a prompt before. This article was actually meant for the very first prompt; A tumultuous region prone to natural disasters. I just used the wrong template but created the city anyway. And now I get to use it!
Glimmertide is a picturesque city located at the southernmost tip of Emberland and boasts a stunning setting near the convergence of a river that follows the base of the majestic Shatterscale Mountains. The region's mineral-rich waters originating from the Glistening Meadows in the north make their way down the river, depositing small crystals into the bay and transforming the surrounding sands into a mesmerizing display of bright and colorful hues. Within the city, there are numerous great spots where people can socialize and relax.
Being downstream of the Glistening Meadows, Glimmertide's sand and beaches are made of crystals due to the high mineral content of hot spring waters draining into the lake / river.
The city also hosts a building that I created for a previous prompt from the first wave; A building associated with joy and fun — The Wake ‘n Bake cafe!

The multi-colored sands of Glimmertide are renowned for their vibrant hues and fine texture. Harvested from the shores of Glimmertide, these sands are prized for their use in crafting exquisite glass products, ranging from ornate art pieces to functional items. This natural resource serves as a versatile and renewable material, providing a sustainable alternative to obtaining crystals from the Glistening Meadows, which is a more complex and arduous process.
