Locals joke that nobody knows for sure whether the Broken Coast was named for the jagged rocky salt stained sea cliffs that line the coast, or the wrecked sailing vessels that dotted the coastline in earlier eras of the county’s history. Many of the ancient shipwrecks still sit crumbling where they were beached so long ago. The coast is home to an infestation of Arbutus trees, with peeling bark coated in salt spray all along the craggy roadside of the Sundberg Coast Road.

The Green Brothers Marina and Lodge
The Green Brothers Marina and Lodge is a small fishing lodge and Marina on the Broken that serves as the point of entry by air and by water for those entering Ohto County. Rundown, but well loved and still holding together, The Green Brother’s Marina and Lodge has been run by the Green family since the 1850s when the original Green Brothers founded it.
The Lokki Point Lighthouse
The Lokki Point Lighthouse is startlingly new compared to much of Ohto County. The Lighthouse has been rebuilt no fewer than five times since the founding of New Vaarashire. The Lighthouse seems a magnet for disaster, with previous incarnations having being devastated by a lightning storm, a collapsed portion of the point, two mysterious fires, and a completely unexplained collapse of the structure in 1913.
The Old Lokki Point Crossroads
Historically crossroads were a place where humans could deal with spirits and demons and devils. Old Lokki Point Crossroads is just such a place. Local legend say that Old Man Linna was buried beneath the crossroads after Lady Sundberg had him secretly poisoned, stabbed, shot, and beheaded.
Sundberg Coast Road
The Law Office of Pickman and Carter manages the trust that maintains the Sundberg Family Coastal Trust. The budget for this maintenance is insufficient to maintain the road is a comprehensive way. The vagaries of the the investments that provide the trust with its working budget mean that some years the road may have no maintenance done, and some years there may be enough money to repair whole sections and reclaim them from the blowing sand and encroaching sea grass. Some years the lack of maintenance and uncooperative weather will cause the road to vanish almost entirely into the landscape. On those years the road will provide Ohto County with an influx of new inhabitants, as more people find themselves lost on the Coast Road and pulled inevitably into the Lowlands.
