The Ten Thousand Islands is an archipelago within the Sea of Ersas in southeastern Hellea. Despite the name, none can quite agree upon the number of islands within the archipelago. If one were to count only the major inhabited islands, they would reach an answer far from ten thousand, but the multitude of tiny islets inflates this number greatly.
Much of the coastline of the islands are rocky and eroded, though there are areas with sandy beaches.
Though not particularly common, dragon turtles are sometimes seen near the islands. Normally more at home in the open waters of the Chaska Sea, these huge turtles sometimes venture closer to land in search of food and gifts.
Chuspikis, small mouse-like creatures that can soar on the wind, are native to the Ten Thousand Islands. Far more intelligent than their form would suggest, chuspikis are common sights in the archipelago as they ride the winds between islands. Some powerful spellcasters in the Ersas City States seek out chuspikis as familiars.
