Hûb-in-Uinin

HÛB-IN-UININ (S. “B AY OF W HALES ” )There is a wealth of sea life in this gulf, brought upfrom Belegaer by a warming current. Whales followthe smaller life forms to the edge of the ice, and arehunted in their turn by Lossoth and Cardolani whal-ers in warmer years. The Lossoth dwell mainly alongthe Rast Naethlos on the eastern shores of the Hûb-in-Uinin, for fear of the Helneryth (S. “Ice Giants”)and worse things that take fish from the westernshore. The Cardolani once kept summer huts andstations along the Bay. The assumed reason for theabandonment of this practice was the increasing coldof the last few centuries; others know that the deci-sion was made after a season marred by repeatedincidents in which sailors drowned in the bay walkedashore and tried to break into the huts.
