# Overview The Darkwave Bay is the bay enclosed within the [[Day Counties]], [[Crownlands]], and [[Dusk Counties]]. This aquatic province was once ruled by [[Blooming Blades|House Teselon]] before [[Coucher|House Coucher]] vassalized them in the 5th century. House Teselon was greatly weakened after House Coucher subjugated them but they were completely wiped out following the [[Moondrop Rebellion]]. The Darkwave Bay earned its name from the constant storms and harsh winds that blow in from its coasts. It is today ruled by a governor under the supervision of House [[Coucher]]. The Darkwave Bay is home to the subaquatic city of Zartenstil, once the home of House Teselon. It was decimated after the Moondrop Rebellion but has since been recovering under the rule of House Coucher and the Dusk Counties. The Darkwave Bay is known to be dangerous for sailors. Many monsters are said to lurk below the waves, especially after the [[Moondrop Rebellion]], and it is not uncommon for ships to leave and never return. The Wavespeaker of the sea elves of the Darkwave Bay used to keep these beasts at bay, but that changed when [[Kynric Whitefin|Wavespeaker Kynric]] unleashed the creatures from the abyss in a last ditch effort in the Moondrop Rebellion. # Bestiary Ships in the Darkwave Bay have reported attacks by Sahuagin raiding bands and masive sea serpents. Recently ships have been unable to reliably leave or enter the Bay due to the [[Seastream Fleet]]'s presence. There are old tales of a creature that used to utterly terrorize the bay that the Sea Elves called *Zaronil* which roughly translates to *"Abyss Stalker"* in common. Some sailors claim to have caught sight of it but none have been substantiated. Even so, sailors claim to somehow hear its steps beneath the waves.
