Teluvay
Teluvay is at the southern end of the Tulyamin Coast Road. The southern unit of the army is stationed here, in a fortress much like the one built by the ancients in what is now the city of Dodoma. The troops under General Jumanne Athuman stay alert for any threats to the country or any threats to just the city that might come from (for example) a foreign ship in port. However, the most action the unit has seen in the past several years was rescuing people along the southern coast of Tulyamin after some especially bad storms.
Teluvay has an average port and is a stopping place for many merchant ships, but its real importance lies in the lighthouse that stands on a rocky spit east of the city. An ancient light tower was found in ruins centuries ago on Savelina Island and painstakingly rebuilt, and then the lighthouse at Teluvay was built to match. The lights guide approaching ships to the entrance of the Drakon Strait, but even more they warn southward-sailing ships of the land curved out in front of their path. Although it has been about 400 years, sailors still talk about the three shipwrecks that took place west of Teluvay in a single decade, when night or storm put ships off-course.
