The '''Bay of a Thousand Scales''' is a spiral of islands that make up the "tail" of the [[Dragons|dragon]]-shaped continent of [[Pyrrhia]], and could be considered to be an archipelago. It is said to have hundreds of islands, making it easy to hide the [[Summer Palace]] among them. It is the only landmass in the [[Kingdom of the Sea|Sea Kingdom]], and therefore it is ruled by [[Coral]]. The bay is also home to the ruins of the Summer Palace, which were enchanted centuries ago by [[Albatross]], an [[animus]] [[SeaWing]], to grow on its own from a rock. In addition, it is home to the [[Deep Palace]] and the location of the [[Island Palace]]. The SeaWings are currently working on a new palace that is not hidden and will be used for diplomacy and [[Scrolls#List of Known Scrolls|Queen Coral's scroll]] readings.

The Bay of a Thousand Scales is a spiral of islands that make up the "tail" of the dragon-shaped continent of Pyrrhia, and could be considered to be an archipelago. It is said to have hundreds of islands, making it easy to hide the Summer Palace among them. It is the only landmass in the Kingdom of the Sea, and is ruled by Queen Coral. The bay is also home to the ruins of the Summer Palace, which were enchanted centuries ago by Albatross, an animus SeaWing, to grow on its own from a rock. In addition, it is home to the Deep Palace and the location of the Island Palace. The SeaWings are currently working on a new palace that is not hidden and will be used for diplomacy and Queen Coral's scroll readings.

Description

The Bay of a Thousand Scales is composed of vast expanses of clear,[1] empty ocean, dotted here and there with solitary outcroppings of rock.[2] Green-and-white islands glow like scattered jewels in the ocean.

There are palm trees,[4] islands,[4] coastlines,[5] beaches, and cliffs.[6] These islands also contain several human settlements that were described to look like miniature castles surrounded by small fortresses and several fires.[6] There is a sea breeze.[7]

An island that was used by Blister as a soldier encampment was described to be a wildly overgrown[8] jungle,[9] with a hollow between several fallen trees, palm fronds, and tree trunks.[10] Through a break in the jungle, there is a lagoon[9] that is overlooked by a shadowy tree[11] containing bushes, spiderwebs,[12] and large bird nests.[13]
