New Moon Bay

Narnvak
Overcast, usually throughout the day. Sometimes at night, the sky becomes clear, with a low mist laying over the land. Very low temperatures and usually does not get warm, even during summer.
Description:
The bay is a large crescent shape and is on the edge of the southern side of Narnvak. The 'circle' of the bay is filled with shallow water that is always calm, even as the tide pulls it in and out. Within the crescent, there are swirling stretches of sandbars, most of which are too unsteady to stand on. Dotted around the sandbars are small, but colorful, coral reefs, filled to the brim with active sea life. During high tide, large floating islands of kelp carpet the waters surface and reflect in it a rich emerald green color. A variety of avian species flock to the bay for its rich mollusk and fish life, and to nest in this unique kelp.
Landmarks:
  • The Nameless Wolves - Enormous boulders, making even Akotas appear like pups next to them, shaped as the head of a wolf, all of which appear to have an open mouth silently calling out.
  • Panuk's Caverns - A twisting maze of small, claustrophobic rock tunnels, beginning at the beach and traveling underneath the waters. Most divers only frequent the known tunnels, but the bravest of them may wander into uncharted territory in search of the treasure rumored to have sunk there.
Lore:
  • It is rumored that the Nameless Wolves were once gods. But, fearing that their presence would be too powerful in the hands of humanity, they turned themselves into stone so that no man nor Tokota could call upon them for help.
  • During the night, those that visit the reef are prone to hearing whispering voices carried across the waves. It's said that the recently deceased may communicate through the breeze that comes in from the ocean, murmuring praise or even warnings to family members who venture to the beach
  • The landmark's unique floating kelp islands are said to hide treasures deep within them, only revealing their centers to those worthy. Many fishers and clammers swear by the stories and tales of this kelpy treasure. Once a year, a traditional festival is held where the people on the bay make a large pile of kelp on the beach and have the children dig through it to reach a chest in the center. The chest is normally filled with local sweets and small trinkets for the children. New Moon Bay's festival is purely for entertainment and mainly helps ingrain the lore into the next generation, though the majority of the bay's people do believe in it.
