The {{Lore Link|Iliac Bay}} (also spelled '''Illiac Bay''', sometimes called '''Starfall Bay'''{{ref|[[Arena:Sentinel|Arena Sentinel description]]}}) is the large bay separating the southern coast of {{Lore Link|High Rock}} from the northern coast of {{Lore Link|Hammerfell}}. Southwestern High Rock and northern Hammerfell are often referred to collectively as the '''Iliac Bay region'''. The Imperial Navy's Northwest Fleet is charged with its protection.{{ref|name=PGE1High|{{Cite book|PGE|1|High Rock}}}}<includeonly>

===History===
There is evidence of human settlements around Iliac Bay dating back at least a thousand years before recorded history.{{ref|name=AHOD|{{Cite book|A History of Daggerfall}}}} Before or soon after the start of the {{Lore Link|First Era}}, Aldmer came to High Rock from the {{Lore Link|Summerset Isle}}s and intermarried with {{Lore Link|Nede}}s, eventually creating the Breton race.{{ref|name=PGE3High|{{Cite book|PGE|3|High Rock}}}} The Skyrim Conquests brought most if not all of the High Rock portion of the Iliac Bay region under the control of the [[Lore:Nord|Nords]] around {{Year|1E 246}}, though they would lose control around {{Year|1E 369}} because of {{Lore Link|War of Succession|internal squabbles}}.{{ref|name=AHOD}} They apparently never controlled {{Lore Link|Wayrest}}, which likely wasn't founded until several hundred years later.{{ref|name=WJOTB|{{Cite book|Wayrest, Jewel Of The Bay}}}} Over time, the emerging Bretons peacefully supplanted the remaining Nordic population.{{ref|name=PGE3High}}
[[File:Tam-Maps-West Tamriel.jpg|left|thumb|Map of the Iliac Bay region and Yokuda]]
Before {{Year|1E 808}}, northern Hammerfell was populated by beastfolk and Nedic people. But then [[Lore:Yokuda|Yokudan]] warrior fleets, called the {{Lore Link|Ra Gada}}, brought refugees fleeing a natural disaster.{{ref|name=PGE1Ham|{{Cite book|PGE|1|Hammerfell}}}} They drove away the natives, and since they were no longer Yokudans, they came to be called [[Lore:Redguard|Redguards]], a corruption of "Ra Gada".{{ref|name=PGE1Ham}} They disliked outsiders of any sort, and this isolationism was the primary reason why the {{Lore Link|Alessian Doctrines}} failed to gain a foothold here, and why traditional beliefs among the Redguard are still strong today.{{ref|name=PGE1Ham}}{{ref|name=PGE1C|{{Cite book|PGE|1|Cyrodiil}}}} Although an {{Lore Link|Rourken|offshoot}} of the {{Lore Link|Dwemer}} settled here in {{Year|1E 420}}, they did not settle near the Iliac Bay region and disappeared before the Ra Gada arrived.{{ref|name=PGE3Ham}} Many Redguards dislike outsiders (although most Redguards around the Iliac Bay are relatively tolerant), and Hammerfell did not join the Septim Empire until {{Year|2E 864}}.{{ref|name=PGE3Ham|{{Cite book|PGE|3|Hammerfell}}}}
The {{Lore Link|First Era}} was generally a difficult time to live in the Iliac Bay region. Half the population of the region died several times: once because of the {{Lore Link|Thrassian Plague}}, once because of the War of Righteousness, and again because of an [[Lore:Akavir|Akaviri]] invasion.{{ref|name=AHOD}} The general history of the Iliac Bay is said to be one of insurrections, wars, and plagues as the many provincial powers in Hammerfell and High Rock maneuvered for power.{{ref|name=AHOD}}
{{NewLeft}}
The Third Era began relatively peacefully as the reigns of {{Lore Link|Tiber Septim}} and [[Lore:Pelagius Septim I|Pelagius I]] brought about a golden age.{{ref|name=BHOTE|{{Cite book|Brief History of the Empire}}}} However, the Iliac Bay region became heavily involved in the {{Lore Link|War of the Red Diamond}}, when a disagreement over the succession of the Imperial throne led to seven years of war.{{ref|name=BHOTE}} Years later, many kingdoms in the region managed to set aside their squabbles and unite against the {{Lore Link|Camoran Usurper}}, whose bid for power had brought strife and war throughout the region and beyond.{{ref|name=BHOTE}} He was decisively defeated in a massive land and naval battle known as the {{Lore Link|Battle of Firewaves}} in {{Year|3E 267}}.{{ref|name=TFOTU|{{Cite book|The Fall of the Usurper}}}}{{ref|name=PGE3V|{{Cite book|PGE|3|Valenwood}}}}
Relative peace existed for over a hundred years, until the {{Lore Link|War of the Bend'r-mahk}} in {{Year|3E 396}}, when Skyrim defeated the forces of High Rock and Hammerfell and expanded into their territory.{{ref|name=PGE3High}} In {{Year|3E 402}}, a land dispute between {{Lore Link|Daggerfall (kingdom)|Daggerfall}} and {{Lore Link|Sentinel (kingdom)|Sentinel}} erupted in to the short {{Lore Link|War of Betony}}. It was described as typical of Iliac Bay warfare: "sincere, frighteningly violent, and peaceably resolved".{{ref|name=AHOD}} However, a lot of bad blood remained between the citizenry of each province due to the viciousness of the war.{{ref|name=FWOB|{{Cite book|Fav'te's War Of Betony}}}}{{ref|name=NWOB|{{Cite book|Newgate's War Of Betony}}}}
===The Warp in the West===
{{Lore:Warp in the West}}
Following this Miracle of Peace, Sentinel grew to encompass the entirety of the Iliac Bay's southeast shore, from Abibon-Gora to Satakalaam, and Daggerfall and Wayrest took over large tracts of territory in southern High Rock.{{ref|name=TWITW|{{Cite book|The Warp in the West}}}}{{ref|name=PGE3Ham}} The peace between Daggerfall and Sentinel is apparently holding. While some minor border skirmishes still occur occasionally, and emerging alliances may threaten to break the peace, no human kingdoms seem willing to reignite conflicts.{{ref|name=PGE3High}}{{ref|name=PGE3Ham}} At least, not against each other.
===Orisinium===
[[Lore:Orc|Orcs]] have been present around the Iliac Bay since time immemorial and have been a relatively constant security concern to their neighbors, whether or not they control territory of their own. Redguard and Breton kingdoms united to annihilate the Orc province in eastern High Rock, Orsinium, in the First Era.{{ref|name=TPC|{{Cite book|The Pig Children}}}} A new iteration, sometimes called Nova Orsinium, emerged and prospered in the Third Era, and rose to become a major power in the Iliac Bay region following the Miracle of Peace.{{ref|name=PGE3High}}{{ref|name=PGE30|{{Cite book|PGE|3|Orsinium}}}} However, the peace for them did not last long, as early in the {{Lore Link|Fourth Era}}, Breton and Redguard kingdoms once again put aside their differences to attack the Orcs, eliminating Orsinium once again, and many Orc refugees were escorted from the chaos into western Skyrim.{{ref|name=LOS|{{Cite book|Lord of Souls|ns=Books}}}}
===Geography===
The waters of the Iliac Bay are known for being relatively tranquil. The great rolling waves which characterize the {{Lore Link|Abecean Sea}} and the oceans disappear upon entering the bay.{{ref|name=EGTHighRock|{{Cite book|EGT|High Rock}}}} From there, the bay stretches northeast into the continent, to the mouth of the {{Lore Link|Bjoulsae River}}. Together, the bay and the river roughly separate High Rock and Hammerfell. The area of High Rock near the Iliac Bay primarily has a temperate climate and rolling hills, while Hammerfell's portion tends to be more arid, rocky, and inhospitable.{{ref|name=PGE3High}}{{ref|name=PGE3Ham}} The {{Lore Link|Wrothgarian Mountains}} of High Rock cap the Iliac Bay region to the north, while the {{Lore Link|Dragontail Mountains}} of Hammerfell form most of the eastern border, along with the [[Lore:Alik'r|Alik'r Desert]]. Many islands dot the Bay itself, notably {{Lore Link|Betony}}, {{Lore Link|Cybiades}}, and the {{Lore Link|Isle of Balfiera}}.
Redguards and Bretons predominantly populate the modern-day Iliac Bay. They worship a wide variety of [[Lore:Gods|deities]] and the rich history of the Iliac Bay has imbued the region with diverse cultures, traditions, and numerous unique holidays.{{ref|name=HOTIB|{{Cite book|Holidays of the Iliac Bay}}}}{{ref|name=VOF|{{Cite book|Varieties of Faith...}}}} There are modern professions of all kinds across the Iliac Bay; besides the typical soldiers, priests, traders and thieves, there are artists, writers, weavers, scholars, even bankers.{{ref|name=SW|{{Cite book|Sacred Witness}}}}{{ref|name=BB|{{Cite book|Banker's Bet}}}} Vampires have always been a significant concern; numerous clans of them pervade the area.{{ref|name=VOTIB|{{Cite book|Vampires of the Iliac Bay}}}} Fears of Akaviri pirates and invasions have also been with the people of the Iliac Bay since the First Era, although they haven't been seen for quite a while.{{ref|name=WJOTB}} A great variety of interesting creatures roam Iliac Bay, such as Dragonlings, large flying lizards which physically resemble the even larger, unrelated race of {{Lore Link|dragons}}.{{ref|name=TBD|{{Cite book|There Be Dragons}}}}
===Notable Places===
* '''[[Lore:Adamantine Tower|Adamantine Tower]]''': Found on a small island in the Isle of Balfiera, it is considered the oldest structure in all of Tamriel, and a neutral meeting place for negotiating provinces.{{ref|name=PGE3High}}
* '''{{Lore Link|Cryngaine Field}}''': A field on the island of {{Lore Link|Betony}} where the decisive battle of the eponymous war occurred in {{Year|3E 403}}.
* '''{{Lore Link|Daggerfall|The City of Daggerfall}}''': One of the oldest and largest cities of High Rock, it has long considered itself the capital of High Rock, by virtue of its antiquity, prominence, and prosperity.{{ref|name=PGE1High}}
* '''{{Lore Link|Sentinel}}''': One of the biggest tourist destinations in all of Hammerfell.{{ref|name=PGE1Ham}}
