The Arc

The Arc is the south-western part of the Archipelago, and the area where westerners are most likely to be found. A mostly tribal region, the rulers are khans and the people are mostly fishermen. There are several important islands here.


 * Tuai Leit - where sirens, sea singers and soothsayers are most often found
 * Whale's Maw - where whales, including the legendary Shuma, come to feed
 * Waiko - home of the The Arc's slave trade
 * Aminishi - two islands with a shallow channel between them
 * The Islands That Once Were Turtles - three mostly uninhabited isles
 * Goshima - a xenophobic island that distrusts non-humans
