The Bay of Pearls was a bay along the Eastern Shore. To the northeast lay the Grey Woods and the city of Aldril; to the far north, Elensefar; to the northwest, the Three Sisters; to the west, the Great Ocean; to the southwest, the Isle of Alduin; and to the south, Blackwater Port. The bay itself was named after its supply of pearls,[1], and had nearby forestland.[2]
Before humans settled in the Great Continent, the shoreline around the Bay of Pearls belonged to the elves according to their treaty with the dwarves. After being forced to flee the Green Isle, various human refugees led by Prince Haldric sailed across the Great Ocean and landed at the Bay of Pearls. At that same time, Dursil's dwarves had encroached on elvish land to chop wood near the bay, causing a confrontation with a group of elves, led by Glimir and Eowarar. When the dwarves and elves saw the humans land, they both believed they were being invaded, forming a temporary truce against the refugees. The ensuing battle was cut short by the arrival of Lady Dionli, who commanded the dwarves to leave, while summoning the humans to attend a meeting of the Ka'lian.[2]
