Translating from Scycaen to Common as the "Gulf of Red Winds", Ras-Birunae was a large northwestern bay on the Cindersand Desert. So named due to the Magic Storms that occurred north of the Scycaen Imperium, the gulf was under constant threat of both magical and non-magical storms.
The western side of the bay curved far inland, protecting it and the port town of Scil-Hiarun from much of the ferocity of the Shifting Blue. The eastern side of the bay, on which lay Scil-Mirozhae, was significantly less protected from the magical surges, but was still more insulated than anywhere along the coastline.
