Kalamaran Bay
This broad inlet of the Kalamaran Sea
is perhaps the most traversed sealane in the realm owing to
the fact that the Ridara, Badato, and E'Korug, and their
river traffic, empty into this body of water. Its shallow
depth moderates the rough ocean seas and permits barges ro
travel its entire length. Once a favorite stalking ground for
pirates, the Kalamaran regimes have reacted by deploying
aggressive squadrons of nimble patrol sloop. While no
match for the heavily armed crew of a pirate ship, these spry
little vessels can easily avoid being boarded. They usually
sport specially built catapults that are capable of launching
flaming oil flasks upwards of 100 yards. The usual tactic is
to attempt to set the rigging of a hostile ship ablaze, effectively
halting it, possibly burning it to the waterline, and
also signaling any Kalamaran warship within the area.
Barges have adopted similar weaponry. As a consequence,
pirating has become too risky in this area, except for the
most bold or desperate.
