Treachery Bay is a large bay situated in the northeast of Raziya, a short ways east of the city of Omrazir and its port al-Sakhna. Though well sheltered from storms and filled with deceptively tranquil waters, the bay is rife with hidden shoals and unpredictable currents, which along with the steep coastline make the bay an unsuitable harborage. It is uncertain how the bay got its name, though its own treacherous nature is a likely explanation. Another possibility is the fact that, like the Cormorant Isles, Treachery Bay has long sheltered pirates as well as wreckers, both of whom work to lure unwary ships to their doom. On the other hand, many Omrazi natives assert that the name comes from the treachery of the people of al-Sakhna, who helped the Ruveran Empire to hide its fleet there during the blockade and eventual conquest of Omrazir.
