Gulf of Heaven

The Gulf of Heaven is a bay that is located in the Aurlûnor Velande. Despite it's name, many argue that the Gulf of Heaven is not actually a gulf but is rather a bay that connects directly out to the Lothranis Sea. It serves as the primary body of water for the Velande's trade and military operations, as it connects the capital of Lhûmar to the greater rest of the world by sea. The other cities of Sachomar, Esteconmar, and Hloamar, as well as the ruins of Fort Loyalty, lie on the gulf.

The Gulf itself is at the confluence of several climate zones. At the northwest, winds of the continent dominate and a cool continental climate prevails in spite of the warm waters. The rest of the bay experiences a warm and humid climate, with abundant coral reefs in the thriving waters below and tropical forest bounding the sides of the bay.

Some of the gulf's native wildlife includes:


 * Guojiang Cormorant
 * Western Tropical Booby
 * Western Hawk Turtle
 * Black Osprey
 * Northern Egret
 * Blue Snapper
 * Sand Grouper
 * Red Dolphinfish
 * Lothranic Puffer
 * Bottlenose Dolphin
 * Various coral species
