The Phiora Sea is a major inland body of water, separated from the Chaska Sea by the Tanerde Strait.
Inhabitants
Southern coast =
Historically Viridia has been the most influential nation around the Phiora Sea, using the Tanerde Strait to control trade. Viridia still enjoys a preeminent position, but now shares the southern coast of the Phiora in Thadria with the breakaway provinces of Forloroth & Valadhal and the abandoned province of Erenon.
Northern coast
The northern coast of the Phiora is split between Izgrev, Koritan, Razivia, Talam Galta, and the Druzda Khanate, as well as a handful of independent cities and towns.
Within the sea
There are very few underwater communities in the Phiora Sea, as the anoxic waters mean few can thrive.
Geography
Located at a northern latitude and in relative proximity to the Northern Wall, the Phiora is a somewhat cold body of water.
Though a large variety of creatures live in the sea, both mundane and magical in nature, the oxygen-depleted anoxic waters at lower depths mean most life exists closer to the surface. As a result of these conditions, however, the numerous shipwrecks within the Phiora are quite well preserved and sometimes sought after by scavengers.
