Malaz City ca.1150 Burn's Sleep
Malaz Isle
Malaz Bay was located on the eastern coast of Malaz Island and formed the harbour in Malaz City.
- "Of late the harbour served mainly as a military transit point, yet still retained some trade, a portion of which was even legitimate. All in all it was a lean shadow of what it had been. Deserted houses faced sagging warehouses and tottering, wave-eroded piers. Once home port to a piratical navy, then a thalassocracy, then an empire, the city now seemed crowded more by ghosts than people."
- ―description of Malaz harbour
The old Emperor's flagship, Twisted, was said to have sunk into the harbour the night he died. It had gone straight to the bottom "taking its resident demon with it."[1] Local fishermen believed the harbour was haunted due to the unusually large number of nets that went missing. A total of twelve ships were believed to be sunk within the harbour.[1]
The harbour was also heavily populated with sharks[1] and once a year was the location of a vast spawning of unpalatable eels.[2]
