Puohlimisten Satama

This Umitic settlement, located on the Bay of Cracking Ice, survives by trading with the neighboring Lumimiehet and with other Umli further east. Puolihmisten Satama is named for the great stone quay the Umli have built for the harborage of the Lumimies whalers. The Umli associated with the harbor do not dwell there year-round; rather, they seasonally mine the rocky, northeastern edge of the bay, where the Everhir once eroded large underground caverns before cutting its now well-established course to the sea.

These Umitic communities consist almost entirely of young males, and their numbers undergo a steady turnover, as miners leave for their homes in the east and are replaced by new arrivals. Stalwart enemies of the Trolls and Orcs of Angmar, the Umitic camps are well-armed and well-defended. More than one Orcraid into their caverns has never been heard of again. For this reason, the Orcs have learned to raid the Half-dwarves only in great force or not at all. The Umli are allied with the Lumimiehet of the bay, and the two peoples often fight side-by-side to repel such attacks. For those who wander the bay or its environs, Puolihmisten Satama is a pleasant oasis amid the cold and danger-infested shores.
