	The arch around which Aerie Point is located, often known by the same name as the town itself, is one of many along its stretch of coastline. Apart from its immense size - over 100 ft tall, 80 feet wide, and extending almost 400 feet into the sea - the arch is also unique for the many petroglyphs carved into its underside. These drawings etched into the rock depict massive, stylistically exaggerated humanoid forms as well as those of sea creatures, including both mundane ones like fish, whales, and sharks as well as luscas, krakens, and oddly linnorms, which are not found in such tropical latitudes. Though ancient, each petroglyph is carved deep enough into the stone that even the coastal winds and waves have not been enough to erode them away.

	None are quite sure who created the petroglyphs.

The petroglyphs were present when Eita made its first footsteps out of the Cradle and into Brightmarch, making them at least over 7000 years old - there are scant clues to date them more ~~specifically~~, however.

	'''Aerie Point''' is a town in [[Brightmarch]], built around and on top of a large sea arch of the same name that reaches into the [[Gulf of Aserdus]]. Most of the town's inhabitants live off the sea, whether as fishers, pearl divers, or farmers tending to fish as well as to crops of seaweed, kelp, and other plants.

	Nearly all buildings in Aerie Point are constructed of stone gathered from the shore or, less commonly, cut from the cliffs. For stone structures they are unusually open, commonly designed to pull the sea breeze through the building to keep its occupants cool.

	Aerie Point regularly trades with the many nomadic groups that live ~~nearby~~. In particular, one tribe of the [[Idrimi]] often camps nearby.
