Martira Bay is a small city located in Darkon within the Jagged Coast area. Named for the bay, the city is Darkon's major port for the Sea of Sorrows. Once a simple fishing village, Martira now boasts the largest population of Darkon's still living cities.[1] The shipyards of Martira Bay produce more crafts than anywhere else in the known world. [2]
Background
Matters of religion in Martira Bay are dominated by a strange local devotion called the Faith of the Overseer. Having captivated the hearts and minds of the general public, the Overseer is seen as a Lawful Good deity of community and protection, though he does not act through divine spellcasters nor grant divine spells. These powers are seen as useful only to ensure obedience through fear and terror. In reality, the Faith is a scheme of social control originally orchestrated by Tavelia of the Kargat and her nosferatu thralls. It still operates in her absence. High Cleric Derakoth is the nominal leader of the Faith. Derakoth is the only true believer among the clergy, although he is a deluded Lost One used as a figurehead. The Faith is headquartered at the Temple of Eternal Balance[3]
