{{:screenshot_20221125-144034_gallery.jpg?direct&400|}}

Known on the historic charts as Arg-Sîmorîg, this bay is one of the most beautiful places in Endorë (Middle Earth).  When [[barony_munchausen|Barony Munchausen]]'s folk settled here there were very few inhabitants, and an abundance of mysterious remnants of ages gone by.

The points sheltering the mouth of the bay are guarded by [[free_imperia_navy|Free Imperia Navy]] forts, [[in30|IN#30]] on the South point with a Monestary-Observatory of [[church_of_eru|Eru]], and [[in31|IN#31]] on the Northern point. 

The resort city of [[monaco|Monaco]] on the center island dominates the culture of the area - laid back, joyful, and celebratory.  Colorful spoonbills and flamingos wade in the Southern marshes, gentle breezes keep the temperature balmy for the latitude year round, and a greatvdeal of effort goes into maintainingan environment conducive towards recreation.  The smaller islands are a colorful blend of fishing villages, cottage industry serving tourism, and rental cottages and bungalows.  

The [[monaco_river|Monaco River]] feeds into the bay on the North Shore by [[bm2|Outpost BM#2]], winding up through beautiful farmland speckled with alpacas and orchards, before a lock tanker over the encircling [[tri_king_mountains|Tri-King Mountains]] to the headwaters of the [[safehelm_river|Safehelm River]] at [[king_cormach|King Cormach]]'s city of [[haven|Haven]], beginning the [[inland_waterway|Great Inland Waterway Initiative]].

On the South Shore [[bm1|Outpost BM#1]] fortifies the hills separating the watersheds with conventional lifts and small Skycastle tenders, encouraging trade with the hill dwarves' farming settlements outside the [[tri_king_fortress|Tri-King Fortress]] to the South.
