How the "The Bay of Rain" was named

I ate him with my stomach.

Two or three hundred years ago, representatives of the various races of the world sat around a table to discuss the map of the world.

This was during the height of Rain's reign, with the upper two thirds of the entire continent of Villous and half of Londerfell were under her control. She was, for lack of a better term, a psychopathic shape-shifting Napoleon, currently looking much like a white fluffy owl.

The humans drew out their kingdom and it's borders. The lizardfolk modestly drew out a segment of their marsh. Everroc was indisputably the Dwarves' territory, not even Rain was foolhardy enough to try to take their mountain-based coastal cities and mighty fortresses. This was before the Corgis had much of a land of their own, sporadic settlements instead of a majority in the highlands of Corgn-Bre as they have today.

At one point, while the human king was describing where his ships' trade routes were, Rain's eyes flickered with sudden interest instead of boredom, and suddenly pointed to an unmarked gulf, saying, according to a translator, "This is the bay of me."

The young elven prince was infuriated. The other races didn't see much of a problem, as her forces clearly occupied it and the entire coast around it, but the elves had long ago named it Fofin Gulf, after a great elven explorer who first "discovered" the lost continent.

Rain had a translator whisper to her what the elf prince said, and whispered to her translator something back. That night, the elven prince was seen visiting her quarters. He was never seen again, causing an uprising that was successfully held at bay, the elves never fully reclaiming Londerfell until she disappeared.

According to some reports, her exact words regarding his sudden disappearance were "I ate him with my stomach." After the incident, the other factions were quite alright with misnaming the gulf a bay as well as naming it after her.
