Vinyamar, the City by the Sea, was an elven city in northern Eressea famed for its sheltered port and ocean-inspired architecture.

Vinyamar was founded by Evariel (the scion of Nost'Evariel) who found the sea to be of infinite beauty. She is said to have spent hundreds of years staring out onto the sea, watching the sunrise over the waves morning after morning.

Mewrim o hobas or Gull Cove as it is known in common, is the sheltered harbor that made the city famous. Elven ships would come and go, their sails described as the wings of sea birds. 

Mindon Evariel, Evariel's Tower, was a lighthouse and watchtower that rose above Gull Cove and was where Evariel is said to have watched the sunrise. Sailors still say that on occasion the lighthouse beacon seems to be lit. Those who have sailed close to Vinyamar also swear that they can see a figure standing at the top of the tower. Watching.

Vinyamar was abandoned during the Dark Times following the appearance of a significant rift in the area. The elves attempted a defense, but the elfblight combined with the steady onslaught of riftspawn forced them to abandon the city. They took to their ships and sailed away. Nerian was the final ruler of the city. 

There is a temple dedicated to Uinen located here.
