Bay of Varcheg

The Bay of Varcheg is a wide inlet of water from the Western Ocean penetrating into north Calradia separating the Kachyar Peninsula from Calradia proper. To the southeast of the bay is a mist-covered coastal plain which rises into the Icaran Plateau and to the southwest are the cold rocky coasts of the Ebor Peninsula where seals are hunted by locals for their valuable skins. Seafaring vessels have limited landing sites as the bay is often swept by chilly winds and steep cliffs line broad stretches of the coast.
The bay offers a bounty for Vaegir fishermen in the form of cod, char, and other cold-water fish.
Before the first settlers from the North ventured to Calradia, the Battanian tribes once lived along its southern coastal plains. Battanian ringforts dotted the coast such as Car Gryff, which is now the village of Kargrev. The bay was a natural refuge for Vaegir longships and eventually the influx of Nordic traders and mercenaries. Vaegir raiders have forced the Battanians from the lands around the bay.
