The Sea of Black Gold
A region rich in trade, it was discovered by an elf named Farwalker. Several different races claimed it after the Council of Races, mostly fairies but also tabaxi and vedalken. It is now a region of high conflict, as many nations claim it, but none can subjigate it because of the high population of Pirates. It remains a lawless and wild land to this day.

History
An elf named Farwalker discovered the sea in 250 BR. It remained uninhabited until the Council of Races (in which, an island to the north was given to the vedalken, the mainland to the northeast given to the tabaxi, and the south given to the fairies). The sea, however, remained a grey zone, with multiple countries claiming it. Over the course of history, many colonies and cities were made, some owned by kingdoms, others havens for corsairs and Pirates. In the year 44 AR, the first citizen of The Nation of Pearls (Goodwine I) declared that he would take the sea by force. A long campaign ensued, first with the taking of Farsail, the occupation of beudal deg. Next Goodwine I led his campaign to the northeast, in an attempted invasion of vustoubeukredar za, but he utterly failed and died of sickness on the journey home. The Nation of Pearls gradually lost their holds except for the city of Farsail. The nation still claims the sea though (as do most surrounding nations) and sometimes patrols its waters. Thought that does not stop pirates.
