Gulf of Irkaina

This northern arm of the Sinnar Ocean is bordered by the mainland of Irkaina to the west, the Isthmus of Irkaina to the north, and the Pelshtarian Peninsula to the east. It is a quiet gulf that is well protected from winds and has a stable current that runs along its inner coast. The gulf does see a good deal of sea traffic as a result of the three large cities along its coast, Izmirtzaçg at the mouth of the Beyaz River, Ezerdúrum at the mouth of the Porphyra River, and Imazon at the mouth of the Nehir River. Ships come from the caliphate to the east, as well as travelers from the Buntesveldt and the cities of the Gulf of Akados to the west.
All of this trade attracts roving sea bandits, including Northlanders who either take the Mulstabhin Passage or float down the rivers of the Sea of Grass to reach the Sinnar Ocean. To protect against piracy, Pelshtaria commissioned a small fleet of ships to hunt down these vagrants. So far, they have had little success; the gulf is large and the merchants are too numerous to defend.
