Polaris Bay

Polaris Bay is a large inlet that serves as the primary center of commerce and military operations for the Pax-Viribus Theocracy. the approximately 2400 miles of coastline offer ample space for ports and docks, which is the primary reason the PVT generally has more naval mobility compared to the Iron Coalition. The bay was discovered and charted during the period of great Havanite exploration in the early to mid 1,500's. Captain Lothair Koblenz and a fleet of Havanite ships managed to circumnavigate the South Harbinger Sea over a period of two months and eight days, using (for the time) advanced navigation equipment acquired from the Kingdom Of Velocitus. The bay gets namesake from the beloved hound of the captain, who sadly passed away of disease shortly before arrival. Cadets studying at the Swintus Naval Academy in the city of Black Rock make a pilgrimage to Polaris Rock upon graduation, completing their initiation as officers in the Ministry's Navy. The unassuming rock is said to be the site where Koblenz and his expedition first touched land nearly 3,000 years ago.
