The Maps of Myrist

The Cobalt Scar is a region in Velious inhabited mainly by the Bulthar, the Othmir, and the sirens. The region itself neighbors Skyshrine and Siren's Grotto. Its layout mainly consists of an island-like peninsula surrounded by water. Many sharks and fish can be found lurking in the deep blue sea.

The southernmost scar is divided into Dragon Claw peninsula and Siren's Bay. The bay is filled with the frigid waters of the Cobalt Ocean and is overlooked by an impassable cliff face that serves as its northern border. The peninsula slopes into Siren's Bay, creating beaches along its southern coast. Shelter from strong tides and winds, and the slope of the Dragon Claw peninsula have been instrumental in forming the only true beaches in Velious. Sand is not present on the rocky beaches. Instead, the flatter expanses are covered by gravel formed of stones and pebbles that have been worn smooth by the gentle waters of Siren's Bay.

The beaches are the home to the largest colony of Othmir in Norrath. These peaceful ottermen spend their time collecting the arctic crustaceans that they feed upon.

The largest threat to the Othmir is the Bulthar that also seek the bay's shelter, and guard the Grotto of the Sirens. A few of the largest and strongest Othmir construct armor from crustacean shells and serve as guardians of the beaches.

The southern edge of the Dragon Claw peninsula is perpetually blasted by a freezing arctic wind that keeps most land bound creatures to the sheltered northern slopes of the peninsula and beaches of Siren's Bay. Primarily, Frost Wyverns inhabit the windy heights, but the occasional Cobalt Drake can be seen soaring above the peninsula.

Siren's Bay flows in from both the Iceclad Ocean and the Subterranean River that formed Siren's Grotto. The mixing of the salt and fresh waters and the sheltered tides of the bay has created brackish water that keeps all but the hardiest species of fish away. The floor of the bay itself is primarily limestone that has remained uncovered by the thick permafrost of Velious since Veeshan first exposed it with her carving strike. The Othmir that reside on the southern beaches do not typically venture to the northern side of Siren's Bay for fear of the Sirens that bask on the limestone outcroppings. The submerged entrance to the Siren's Grotto lies in the western region of the northern cliff face of Siren's Bay.
