History
Solaire Bay is the seat of all happenings in New Aleppo. It was founded in 1930 AC by Kovi, a sailor who lost his memories in a shipwreck incident. Kovi is later revealed to be the reconstructed King Kopi of Daisy Bay, brought back by Lady Yuna. Construction began when Kovi built Port Solaire to attract sailors, settlers, and even pirates.

Kovi looked to put Port Solaire on the map as an essential stop for anyone sailing through the Aleppo Strait. Over time, it's been an outpost for sailors to rest, eat, and spend money.

With this attention, pirates began yearnfully eyeing the booming settlement. When an attack sinks a ship in the bay and destroys a bridge connecting to the lighthouse, Kovi ordered construction of a fort to defend against the attacks. Castillo de Yuna Dama, named after the hero who was a key aspect in the bringing back of King Kopi.

Location
Solaire Bay is located in central New Aleppo. Sitting on the Aleppo Strait, Solaire Bay is a key location for sailors to spend their time away. To the east lays the Mushroom Forest and across the strait to the west is the location of the Pirate Outpost.

Geography
Solaire Bay sits upon a marsh, glazing the edges of the beach that lines the Aleppo Strait. The further inland the city goes, the more mountainous the region becomes. Permanent residents often reside to the east to avoid the bumbling Port Solaire and merchants district.

Castillo de Yuna Dama
Castillo de Yuna Dama is a fort constructed in the northwestern part of Solaire Bay, along the water. It was designed by Kovi to ward against pirate attacks. It features four areas on each corner of the fort where cannons can be shot, defending the town from any angle. It is made of stone bricks, andesite, and cobblestone. It is lit with lanterns.

Lucky 38 Saloon
The Lucky 38 Saloon was one of the first buildings on site of Solaire Bay. Imagined and designed by Kovi, the establishment aimed to provide sailors with much needed R&R, along with making enough money to further construction of the town. It features a few rooms for sailors to spend the night, gambling features, potions, food, and a stables. Outside, there is also a smithy. A penthouse suit is used by Kovi when he visits.

It was created with spruce wood planks, stripped oak wood logs, and various forms of stone. It features many lanterns for lighting.

Art
Solaire Bay is culturally enriched with various forms of art, mainly the common flat "pixel art". Kovi and his lover Amelia spend much time together piecing together pixel art to enhance the mood and design of the town. The art pays homage to various forms of media.
