Emberde Bay
A sheltered bay, supporting a bustling shipping and fishing industry.
The humid, salty air blowing across the rocky coast smells of ocean brine and smoke from the nearby factories. Cliffs rise slowly as the landscape extends away from where the river meets the bay. The waters of the Matawu River churn as they meet the lapping waves of the bay and silt swirls as it flows toward the ocean. A vast network of docks stretch out over the open water connecting moored ships of all sizes to the mainland. The constant ringing of iron, the groaning of ropes and snapping of canvas echo across the surface of the water.
Description
A large, deep body of water that is sheltered from the choppy waters of the open ocean by tall cliffs. The Matawu River bisects Skalan and empties into the bay, creating a brackish environment capable of supporting a wide variety of sea life. A vibrant fishing industry creates jobs and feeds the nation.
The steep continental slope at the water’s edge has allowed for the creation of several gigantic harbors, capable of creating some of the world largest ships. These behemoths fuel Liekia’s regional shipping industry, moving food and goods between trade ports all along the Monsherba coast.
Landmarks
Beacon of the Morning Star: A huge lighthouse atop the tallest western cliff across the bay from Skalan, is topped with a gleaming brass lantern. Once the sun dips low on the horizon it begins to cast its bright light out across the water to ward sailors away from perilous cliffs and to guide them home.
