Gulama
Gulama is located in a natural harbor near the western end of Ibeshi Isle. When more merchants and traveling ships began to call at Ompeshi and Sinda, the crown felt it best to move the naval facilities to a different location, which became Gulama. Shipbuilding yards are here, as well as the navy’s training facilities and enough anchorage for most of the fleet. Active patrols keep foreign ships away from these waters. In the past several years, the queen has instituted, and Lady Maua has overseen, a significant increase in the size of the navy, including its force of marines. Under Lord Admiral Tarab the Long-sighted, Uncle to Her Magnificence, the navy has nearly doubled in size in 10 years and is almost to the place where it could hope to defend Sensibar against an actual attack by Castorhage — assuming most of that country’s ships are busy elsewhere.
Given the wealth of the kingdom, the navy’s facilities are more comfortable than those of almost any other country in the world, but participation is still more work than most other citizens ever do. The pay and benefits are excellent, though, and retiring from the navy is one of the few ways to guarantee owning a home in Ompeshi.
