Marit Bay
Much like Graucan, Marit Bay is considered a port city, and most of the residents of Marit make their livings on the sea. However,the place is far more unusual than all that; Marit Bay is full of pirates and bounty hunters and treasure hunters of all kinds, and in a place like Marit, only the strong, the clever, and the charismatic can survive and thrive. Its a strange city both in terms of its rabblerousing populous and its very old, coarse appearance. Marit is historically one of the oldest cities in Decona, and many of the original buildings erected here, crafted from strong water-resistant wood and stone, are still standing today. Marit boasts innumerable pubs, pawn shops, and strange niche shops of all kinds with wares acquired from across the sea. Its most popular attraction, though, is the Marit Gym, led by flying-type master Keaton. The gym is set up in the lighthouse by the docks, where Keaton typically awaits at the very tippy-top. To the northeast of the city the docks stretch out into the ocean, and seemingly every inch of those docks are lined by little private vessels illuminated by the sweeping beam of the lighthouse. The sea this side of Decona is constantly churning and choppy with harsh waves and winds, but far off in the distance, beyond the many ships out at sail and the towering waves, a small island is visible and reachable for those who have the mettle. To the southwest of Marit Bay, a long drawbridge leads out of the city and connects to the sturdy road bridging the gap between a large portion of Umbil Lake.
