Bay of Whales

There was a wealth of sea life in this gulf, brought up from the Belegaer by a warming current. Whales followed the smaller life forms to the edge of the ice, and were hunted in their realm by Lossoth and Cardolani whalers. The Cardolani had once kept summer huts and stations along the Bay. The assumed reason for the abandonment of this practice was the increasing cold of the last few centuries; a few knew that the decision was made after a season marred by repeated incidents in which the corpses of sailors drowned in the bay had walked ashore and tried to break into the huts.
