The Bay

Barleycorn Bay stretches along the edge of Citropolis, from Cinnabar Point to Cape Falchion. Whilst once the centre of business and commerce, as the city grew, the importance of the harbour faded. What was once a thriving dock has become little more than a place for holiday makers and a few run-down businesses. Over the years, the occasional short-lived effort to reinvigorate the area has been attempted, leaving the occasional modern building standing awkwardly between the older parts of the area.

Cinnabar Point Lighthouse
Cinnabar Point is on one end of the bay, a raised point with sheer cliffs down to the beach. The only building of note is the abandoned lighthouse. Many rumours exist about the area, due to its isolated location, but none of them have ever been verified.

Barleycorn Bay Beach
The most popular area of the coast, the beach is a great destination for people just wanting to relax. The area saw a boom in popularity when the monorail station was built nearby to provide easy access to the sandy shore. Aside from this station, the area hasn't been built up much, which has saved it from the unfortunate aging that has befallen other areas of the bay.

Polygon Pier
Polygon Pier was one of the biggest attempts to save the docks from obscurity. Built about 40 years ago, it sits right on the border of the harbour and the beach, providing a neat divide between the two. Sadly, its success was short-lived, and now it is mostly run down; with both the funfair and mini-golf course being rather on their last legs.

The Harbour
While once the major centre of commerce, the harbour's best days are long gone. Now, the only boats are a few fishing trawlers. The waterfront itself is mostly old industrial shipping equipment (cranes and the like) from a bygone era, though the odd new development trying to take advantage of the unique style can be seen here and there. Spreading inland, a vast sea of warehouses stretches out to meet the rest of the city. While a small portion of these are still in use, the majority are in various states of abandon and disrepair. The winding passages between them are ominous at all times of day, the tall structures looming on all sides, each junction more indistinguishable than the last.

Cape Falchion
At the other end of the bay from Cinnabar Point, Cape Falchion rises up from the harbourside to a hilly outcrop. While not as dramatic looking, it too has little to visit. The old lighthouse has since been converted into an unmanned weather station, which overlooks the peninsula of The Alan Hoyne Institute for Sparked Individuals. A little further in-land is the Rautavaara Nuclear Power Station, which provides a large percentage of Citropolis's power.

Misty Nguyen (she/her): Owns and maintains the pier, though is constantly struggling to keep up with repairs on both the funfair and mini-golf course.

Captain Luthier (he/him): Captain of “The Final Trout”, a large boat moored on the harbourside. He makes a mean grilled trout, but always has something about the harbour to complain about, for anyone who'll listen.

Lilac Smith (she/her): The mysterious lighthouse keeper of Cinnabar Point Lighthouse. There are many rumours about Lilac, including about whether she even really exists at all.
