Bay of Elves

Description

The Bay of Elves lies south of Aslarmore and east of the City of Caplo. To the west stands the isle of Sedar, while to the south, stretching toward Dunrik, lie the scattered islands and reefs known collectively as the Caplo Isles.

Sheltered by land to the north and west, the Bay of Elves is known for its comparatively calm waters, a stark contrast to the harsher open ocean beyond. Gentle currents and predictable tides make it one of the safest natural harbours along the Caploan coast, and it has long been favoured by traders, fishermen, and naval patrols alike.

The Caplo Isles form a natural barrier along the southern edge of the bay. These isles are a broken chain of small islands, rocky outcrops, and hidden reefs, creating narrow channels that only experienced sailors can navigate with confidence. While dangerous to the uninitiated, this maze of islands provides excellent protection against storms and hostile fleets, further contributing to the bay’s tranquil reputation.

To the west, the larger island of Sedar dominates the horizon. Its presence shields the bay from prevailing winds and heavy swells, and its deep-water approaches make it a natural waypoint for ships entering or leaving the bay. Together, Sedar and the Caplo Isles shape the Bay of Elves into a haven of relative calm, one that has played a quiet but vital role in the maritime life of Caplo for generations.
