The Cerulean Coast, the southern shore of the Gravesite Plain in the Realm of Shadow, is the canon's most quietly beautiful landscape. The Map: Southern Shore description preserves what makes it singular : 'Map of the southern shore of the Gravesite Plain. A captivating vista of brilliant blue flowers, intermingled with colossal stone coffins of unknown origin that seemingly drifted to this place. To the east, the jagged peak thrusts upward into the clouds.' The blue flowers are not Erdtree-amber blue ; they are a darker, deeper, mournful blue, and the locals' name for them, Saint Trina's flowers, is the only name that the canon's flavour-text apparatus preserves.

The road through the Coast is Saint Trina's road. Exiled by Miquella when he sloughed off the parts of himself that loved, Saint Trina retreated south through the Cerulean Coast and ended at the Stone Coffin Fissure, the underground drift-basin where the impure dead gather. Her followers, Thiollier, Moore, and a small handful of pilgrim foragers, walked this same coast to find her. The brilliant-blue flowers stay open even at night because the Coast's only light is starlight ; Saint Trina, who would have abolished sleep's distinction from death, sleeps somewhere among them.
