The Bay of Ul'Tharke is a tropical bay located on the southern coastline of Enithe referred to as the Wrecked Coast. The Bay itself is quite scenic and relaxing, the water is a clear aqua color with towers dotting the ocean water of the bay. These towers were built by Wayside engineers and house ballistas and giant fire pits on the top of them. They double as defense towers and light beacons to help guide merchant ships and other vessels in and out of the Wayside port.
The terrain along the Bay is primarily beach, with pale sands dotted with shells with large palm trees comprising the tree line. The only non beach part is where the city of Wayside meets the water. That portion is an elevated rock face, although it isn't obvious since Wayside extends out into the water.
