The Argelean Isles (pronounced arr-gah-LEE-an) are a cluster of islands off the southwest coast of Thadria. Most, but not all, of the islands lie under the control of Viridia - the remainder are inhabited by independent settlements. The isles are located on the boundary between the Chaska Sea and the Sea of Ersas, and therefore the surrounding waters are frequently traveled by mercantile vessels.
The largest island, upon which the fortified city of Sarissa is located, has tall white stone cliffs around almost its entire perimeter. Prior to Viridia taking possession of the Argelean Isles in Y7751*, this island was the realm of a giant bandit lord who launched raids at the nearby settlements of the mainland before retreating back to their stronghold, which now lies in ruins, scavenged for material.
