Bay of Benin

The Bay of Benin is the channel of water located between the island of Alesund, and the Thracian Peninsula, directly north of the Icespire Mountains. The bay was named after Benin the Great, a Ruskiyan leader who sailed from Alesund to the mainland, bringing the first Ruskiyan people with him.
The waters in the Bay of Benin are very cold, and icebergs can regularly be found floating in them, further away from the shores of either the mainland, or Alesund. The presence of icebergs in the bay make it dangerous, but not fully unnavigable. During some of the more cold winters of the past, the waters of the bay were said to have sometimes frozen, supposedly creating a land bridge between the island and the mainland.
Whales, walruses, seals, and all kinds of fish make their homes in the Bay of Benin, which people on the Thracian Peninsula, and Alesund hunt. According to the Arctic Dwarves who live on the Thracian Peninsula, a mythical iceberg-city inhabited by Arctic Dwarves who swore allegiance to Levistus, the Lord of the Fifth Level of the Nine Hells, Stygia, sometimes appears in the bay.
