Stone Bay

Stone Bay

The Kingdom of Stone Bay is the nation that governs all of Kara. It was founded long ago by its semi-mythical first king, Jephdaphro, who led the earliest Baymen to war against the Drenorans. Stone Bay's victory secured its place as the hegemon of Kara, a title they hold to this day.

Currently, King Ulysses Mountbatten rules over Stone Bay.

The First King, Jephdaphro I

The people of Stone Bay were originally nomadic. Under King Jephdaphro, they valued conquest by the sea. Early Baymen travelled in fleets to conquer small city-states for their sprawling, seabound empire. Jephdaphro's reign saw Stone Bay declare war against the Drenorans for their crimes against nature. The Drenorans attempted to reach beyond mortal means by contacting the dragon Valynclex, tapping into the magic of Realitas, and accidentally creating the Curse.

These actions formed the basis of Stone Bay's casus belli against the Drenorans. During this time, the Drenorans forged many artifacts to defeat Stone Bay's forces. The Azure Blade, in particular, was one of several weapons built to slay the wizard Arimaex. The combined effort of Stone Bay's armies, fleets, and magical powers resulted in Jephdaphro leading the Bay to victory against the Drenorans. With their last-ditch attempts at godhood failing, the Drenorans faded into history, defeated and destroyed by Stone Bay. King Jephdaphro used this victory as an opportunity to settle his people. The age of sea conquest was over. Stone Bay built its Prismarine Citadel on Orlan, one of Kara's islands, and established their rule over the archipelago.

King Jephdaphro disappeared hundreds of years ago on an expedition outside of Kara. He brought with him the famed Prismarine Sword and Shield. He left Ulysses Mountbatten to rule in his stead as Regent and Lord Mayor of Stone Bay. Hundreds of years later, Jephdaphro never returned to Stone Bay. Thus, the kingdom entered its regency era.
