Rollen Bay

In Rollen Bay I was born!

Heave boys! Heave boys ho!

Yes Rollen Bay, we often scorn!

Heave boys! Heave boys ho!

Rollen Bay that damned place!

Heave boys! Heave boys ho!

So we pull away at a steady pace!

Heave boys! Heave boys ho!

For we do know should we return!

Heave boys! Heave boys ho!

For Rollen Bay we'll always yearn!

Heave boys! Heave boys ho!

History

Rollen Bay is older than Briar Glenn as a province, having been established by Krel raiders of Clan Foghladh in 256 of the Age of Flame. After a period of tense negotiation, the trading post was allowed to grow and prosper until it became the large town most people know it as today. Notably, Rollen Bay once had a key role in the transit of most plunder and captives from Krel raids to the north, though in recent years House Duvall has increased their presence within the town, ensuring it cannot be used for such a purpose.

Architecture

Being located amidst the best source for raw timber on the continent, Rollen Bay is constructed primarily of wood.
