Editing Draft:Shattered Embrace:Cloudy Bay

Cloudy Bay is a body of water adjacent to the island of [[Arveran]]. It lies west of [[Karatree Reach]]. It's visited in ''[[Shattered Embrace]]'' DLC.

==History==
Cloudy Bay is not a part of Arverean's natural shoreline; it was artificially created during the [[Tenebrae Invasion]] by the spells of the invading [[Tenebrae]], who used their magic to make the large part of [[Karatree Reach]] (adjacent to its original shoreline) fall into the sea, including the ancient city of [[Lorrendar]] that the dark monks were besieging.

The bay created during the destruction of Lorrendar and adjacent lands became deserted by the surviving [[Humans|Human]], and so it remained nameless for centuries; even during the [[Troubles]], after which the [[Elves]] became the island's sole inhabitants. 

It changed after [[Mothark]] ship (with [[Balek]] and [[Maleno]] on board) crushed in the area, carrying the first non-Elven settlers (some off-shore Humans followed in later years). In order not to break Elven laws (which forbade all non-Elves from settling on the island), they founded a new settlement outside the shore, atop of Lorrendar ruins, gradually constructing a merchant town of [[Freehaven]] entirely over the waters of the bay (which finally got it's name).

==Trivia==
* Freehaven's origin story mentions a heavy fog that accompanied Maleno's landing (i.e. crushing his ship). The Bay's name might be connected to the event (especially the fog kept to appear in later years).
