"The Carnelian Coast marks the edge of the vast and mysterious Elder Continent, far across the Unterzee. Some travellers call it a Neathy paradise. Others decline to comment."' "The Bazaar has outposts all over the Neath. Some are opulent palaces; others simple shacks by the side of the road. One or two on the Carnelian Coast are camel-trains that move from port to port to trade with merchant steamers."
The Carnelian Coast, across the Unterzee from London, lies west of the Crying Heights, on the Elder Continent. It is a center of sapphire mining and is home to Port Carnelian, a vibrant port frequented by travellers from around the Unterzee and London’s sole colonial holding in the Neath.
Port Carnelian
The governor of Port Carnelian is typically an eminent Londoner from the Foreign Office. They must handle a balancing act between keeping Her Majesty's subjects, the native tigers, and Khaganians happy.
The colony boasts a market known as the Blue Bazaar. (This seems to be 'bazaar' in the generic sense; it does not have a known connection with the Echo Bazaar.)
Historical and Cultural Inspirations
Port Carnelian was likely inspired by colonial-era Singapore, which was one of the British Straits Settlements. Settlers in Singapore were often eaten by tigers before the population there was sadly wiped out entirely.
