The World of [Your Comic]
The Water's Edge
A sprawling, multi-tiered settlement lines the coast. The docks are a maze of half rotten piers and the scent of saltwater. Boats and sea vessels line the coast, from ornate merchant ships to run down fishermans rafts.

The scent of salt and brine is thick in the air. All manner of boats pass through this major port town, and the pier is flush with sailors, merchants, and dockworkers.
The dark underbelly of the town resides on edge of the coast. Heavy traffic in the harbor masks the presence of criminal activity.
The Marketplace
A chaotic, open-air bazaar where rare spices, "salvaged" ship goods, and even illegal magical components are traded.

A bustling marketplace lies in the heart of the coastal region. Merchants, traders, and tourists flock to the commercial area of the town. Rare treasures and fine wares flow through these streets, but if you know which shadowed alley to turn down, you’ll find merchandise of a far more illicit nature.
The Magical Institution
High above the harbor, structures of intricate stonework dominate the skyline. A bastion of magical power, only the wealthiest and most knowledgeable mages can reside here.

The further away you get from the water, the more "civilized"—and more dangerous—the town becomes.
