Cetus whale

The cetus whale is the world's largest species of whale and largest living mammal. It spends the seasons of Summer and Sunfall in breeding grounds in the Windward Sea off the boreal coast of the Headlands. The forty-eight days within those two seasons offer a short window for whaling vessels to go after that most lucrative prize: cetum, more commonly known as cetuswax. The candles and lamps of the world burn brightly from the toils of the whaleman, and a ship full of wax will pay its crew handsomely upon returning to shore in Autumn.
