Lore
Lamaar Bay is a relatively large cove on the western shore of Teladir. Possessing a relatively wide stretch of smoothly sloping beach and a small but sturdy jetty, Lamaar Bay is an excellent birth for any ship. The high mountains to the southeast and southwest do much to shelter the bay from the storms that so often plague the Teladiri coastline and the beach is broad enough to allow many ships to rest at anchor comfortably.We did not watch the horizon and our entire continent drowned in blood. We should have seen it coming, we should have acted sooner, we should have...

The most instantly recognizable features of Lamaar Bay are the swirls of blood that linger atop the water and can be found imprinted into the sand. These bloody smears are the remnants of some of the most vicious battles in the history of Lithmeria, their legacies stamped into the very land and ocean. In places upon the beach, gore and gristle can still be seen lying upon the sands, steadily being picked clean by generations of scavengers.
Lamaar Bay owes its bloody history to the Aspalarian invasion in 206 BQ. The Sovereignty forces chose Lamaar Bay as their landing site and Lamaar Bay Fortress as the first test of their military against the natives of Teladir. An important beachhead, vital to the continual deployment of Sovereignty troops in Teladir, Lamaar Bay was contested more fiercely than almost any other stretch of land upon Lithmeria. Waves of Teladiri tribesmen valiantly threw themselves at the Aspalarian invaders, occasionally succeeding in pushing them back into the shallows and toward the ships beyond.
In contemporary times, Lamaar Bay is still one of the key strategic locations in western Teladir. Its smooth, easily scaled beaches and sheltering mountains make it a tempting, if somewhat predictable target for raids and troop landings from the Sovereignty. In the shadow of the Lamaar Bay Fortress, the sands and seagulls wait for the next wave of blood and death to roll in on the rising tide of the Endless Siege.
