Full Record
Black Tide serves as the maritime backbone of the Dreaming Empire. Located south of Arkest along the empire's southern coast overlooking the Great Southern Sea, it functions as the primary naval headquarters for warships, deep-sea exploration, and the suppression of piracy. Its deep harbors, fortified drydocks, and dreadnought construction facilities allow it to field the empire's most powerful naval assets. Heavy fog and ocean winds roll in most mornings, masking the black sails of the imperial fleet at rest. The fleet consists of imperial dreadnoughts, frigates, coastal runners, deepwater recon ships, and assault barges with magic-bound weaponry.

Cartographic Notes
Black Tide does not whisper. It roars. It sails with silence and strikes with thunder. It is the empire's sword upon the sea — and it never sleeps.
