Mina'Satie Bay

A sheltered bay along the southern edge of the continent, Mina'Satie Bay is usually a quiet body of water with small fishing craft flitting to and fro. Occasionally, the quiet working days are disturbed by the larger form of a Gleaming Fleet craft returning from a voyage around the east coast. Very rarely, the gigantic presence a southern vessel bound for Almina appears from the open sea, causing a wild disturbance among the fisherfolk of the bay.    Near Almina, the shores of the bay are rocky and rough. But as the bay opens up and exposes the shore more, the land becomes smoothed and sandy. This is most prominent along the north shore, where a number of small villages have popped up over time. There are also a couple of large towns founded mostly for communal sharing of fish and other resources as well as boat building and maintenance. These communities are diverse to a high degree - the sleepy nature of these towns is very attractive to those seeking a quiet place to live.    Threats to these communities are rare. There is little of value that would attract raiders from the mountains to the north, and while the Gleaming Fleet will occasionally stop vessels to demand tribute they consider these shores to be under their protection rather than a source of plunder. Natural threats are more common, as the weather produced around the Tempest Reefs can sometimes spawn storms that will move to the east into the bay, raising waters to a dangerous condition. Finally, the odd amphibious beast will wander out of the sea and rampage along the shore. These are usually able to be repelled by the towns' small volunteer militias but sometimes may require assistance from Almina or even the Korth'an Wardens .
