The Whale is a large island to the east of Kea Racha. Along with the Serpent, another large island nearby, the Whale is much more arid than Kea Racha, with a landscape primarily of desert and arid scrubland.
The only large, permanent settlement on the Whale is the port town of Govorkan to the northwest, on the margins of the more habitable regions of the island. At some point in the distant past the Whale was home to tribes of giants, but little is known about them today. Kintakan legends hold that the giants lived on the island until they "swam out of the earth and into the sea", leaving behind little aside from monumental stone walls in the desert, some miles-long and every one perfectly straight.
