Circle Sea

The Circle Sea is a large body of water that marks the southern periphery of most of Emicara. The sea gets its name from its roughly circular shape, and is nearly a perfect circle thanks to the Jakonian Peninsula. Only roughly half of the circle's exterior consists of civilized ports of call, mostly the Jakonian Empire, Columba, and Forard, but also including the Free Cities of Capcora and Riveraineville. It is between these nations that most of the commerce that exists upon the Circle Sea takes place. Only a scattered and precious few outposts exist on the southern and western edges of the Circle Sea, and these places are nearly mythical in their residents and known history.
To the southeast are the Shadowed Islands, outside of the Bahami island chain, and apparently occupied by an unknown hostile force. Jakonian and Bahami attempts to settle the largest of the Shadowed Islands have only met with disastrous failure, as the residents of these colonies disappear before the first supply ship can arrive, with only limited signs of struggle. To the west are the coastal regions of the Giant Lands, and they are extremely hostile to travelers, except for a handful of smugglers who occasionally partake in the slave trade with the giants. To the southwest are coasts ringed with thick jungles, harsh mountains, and barren deserts, all equally inhospitable. In that area there are a handful of trading posts and colonies for the most enterprising of merchants, but few of these are fortified, and most usually only last a few years.
