The Emerald Coast

From BelegarthWiki

The Emerald Coast

is the collective name for the Puget Sound area realms: Alera, Gondor, Ixalai, and Talinor.

History

A fighting line of monsters. The sun shines in their eyes harshly.
Monstrous Army assembled to quiet Talinor's revolt.

A moderate number of years ago Alera adopted the epithet "Of the Monster Coast," which Talinor later adopted as well. (Gondor did not for literary based reasons.) When Ixalai also announced their intention to adopt the name as well, the current fighters of Talinor -- few of whom were monsters--revolted and declared war.

Humans and elves march leftward. Their eyes are on the monsters ahead out of frame. Light shines from above.
Humans and Elves of Talinor march against the assembled monstrous force.

The war was decided in October 2018 when Talinor arrayed their elven and noble allies and defeated the monstrous company and won the right to rename the region.

An innumerable number of group and collective polls later, "Emerald Coast" was chosen, with "Salish Sea" coming in a strong but distant second.

The Emerald Coast went on in March 2020 to challenge the Oregon realms at a Battle for Pyke for ownership of the Babylon Empire and won, thus gaining dominion over all of Oregon. This reversed an old historical trend of the Babylon Empire claiming Tacompton as a colony, and at times trying to claim (without success) Gondor and Talinor as well.
