The broad indent into the southern coast of Nyrond is called Fairwind Bay, a relatively peaceful arm of Relmor Bay characterized by its white sand. Fishing is good here, and trade has boomed through Wragby since King Lynwerd took power in 586 CY. Strong sympathy with the rebel movement in Onnwal is felt here, and weapons and goods are smuggled out of Wragby to the Onnwal coast.[1]
It is a shallow bay of white sands, which is a haven of respite along this dangerous coast. It often has dolphins, selkies, and a few aquatic elves in its waters. The elves avoid people not from Shining White, and they are said to sink smuggling vessels. They are also spies, and supply Shining White with information.[2]
Chathold lies on the southeastern end of the bay, at the mouth of the Harp River.[3] In later eras, only the ruins of Chathold remain.
