The Bay of Jinawa (pronounced JIN-ah-wah) is a body of water southwest of Kea Racha. Though the many islands and innumerable islets of the bay fall within the nation of Lelwani, its shores to the north, east, and south are split between Langkha, Vua Ran, and Sangiran. In the west the bay flows into the Mhasmuth Ocean.
The seafloor throughout most of the Bay of Jinawa is relatively shallow, especially so at the guyots in the west like Mount Vea, much of it covered by miles upon miles of expansive seaweed forests. Rocky islets lie amongst a somewhat smaller number of much larger tropical islands, where giant snails live in the shallows of the coasts and along the beaches.
While there are some inhabitants of the islands, most of the peoples living in and around the Bay of Jinawa are aquatic, primarily azarketi with some tritons. Surface dwellers in the area largely reside in the Augurs, giant sea-towers built by order of the Eternal Suzerain as symbols of unity.
