Wind Reach is a dynamic self-contained domain loosely defined as a city. All of its basic core information is contained within the Wiki page entitled Wind Reach. Visitors are welcome in Wind Reach, but they must check in with the Valintar once they post at the main gates. Wind Reach is a remote area, not receiving many visitors, so strangers might be treated rather oddly at first before one's position in Wind Reach's society is well established. New characters are always welcome. Be advised, however, that while players may start out with Wind Eagles (with moderator permission and a SS thread), players need to understand that these Wind Eagles will not want to leave their 'colony' or their people. They are not 'cool adventurer mounts' designed to roam the lands with ease. So in essence, if you choose having a Wind Eagle as a new PC, you are tethering yourself to Wind Reach and the surrounding area exclusively. Occasional trips are fine, but your giant eagle will not tolerate being away from Wind Reach for long. It is part of the reason Wind Reach exists for the Eagles are keepers of secrets, even from their riders.

Sometimes called Water Reach, the settlement at Thunder Bay is a seasonal outpost that is designed to support the mountain denizens of Skyinarta. Closed during winter and often in parts of fall and spring, Thunder Bay is an important resource to the Inarta. Home of almost all their meat and fish processing, Thunder Bay dries salt for the Inarta and provides a dock so the traders from Avanthal and other far off places can bring ships into Storm Bay in milder weather. Glass, Talon Swords, and all sorts of arts and crafts are traded to outsiders for everyday staples such as spices, fabrics, and metal.

While full year round habitation is not encouraged, it does happen at times when resourceful people find ways to survive Kalea's fierce winter weather and perpetual frozen lands. In the Winter, though the buildings still stand, the harbor ices up completely and the settlement is left to the wilds and only visited when eagles are hunting predators that sometimes take up residence in the shadows of the abandoned structures. Items that are easily transported are taken back to Wind Reach for the winter. But larger things, such as boats are stored in the appropriate dry-docks and carefully sheltered against freezing temperatures and the fierce storms that are notorious in the region in late fall on through to early spring.

Thunder Bay is resourceful and those that choose to live and work there thrive seasonally. It is often considered a pleasant break from the struggles of living int he Volcano. As a result, often times, the road crew made up of volunteers pushes through to the settlement prematurely, But it doesn't matter truthfully, for just as soon as the first caravan makes it through from Skyinarta, the rebuilding and preparation for reopening the settlement gets instantaneously underway.
