Damolon

Damolon is a medium-sized town in Coreune capable of housing 20,000, but in recent years, its actual population has dwindled severely, leaving it a veritable ghost town. Forty years ago, it was a thriving port city with a recurring problem with pirates. Then came the man whose name is cursed to this day: Admiral Hubert Golay.
Golay was in contact with a mad Dalkhrovan inventor by the name of Milan Vlahovic. Vlahovic claimed to have invented a working Telaetheric Gate with a Contact Plane large enough to send a man through. After five years of unsuccessfully chasing pirates, Golay was fed up and up for trying any controversial tactic. He had Vlahovic send him the Gate. His men tied themselves together with rope, and the Gate's Target Orb was fired over onto the pirate ship by arrow. Then Golay began passing his men through the Gate.
Fifty men went through the portal; fifty monsters emerged from the other side. Their minds destroyed, the sailors began tearing the pirates apart with their bare hands. Fleeing below decks, the pirate captain vowed that these beasts would not have him. He opened the top of a keg of gunpowder and fired his pistol into it just as the first of the maddened Coreunean sailors reached him. The resulting explosion tore the bottom out of the ship and sent it to the bottom.
Since that fateful day, tales have surfaced of derelict ships rising from the bottom of the bay, calving icebergs behind them as they sailed in silence. The number of shipwrecks in the area has greatly increased, and sailors have begun to avoid the town and its haunted bay. Finally, the trickle of trade slowed to nothing and people began moving away, leaving Damolon in its current sad shape.
