Strait of Aklon
Pronunciation: ACK-lon
Map Index: G5
Location: Separates southern Beorlan from Centakus. The Strait of Aklon, formed during the Great Cataclysm, defines the border between the continents of Beorlan and Centakus. Positioned within a flooded rift valley that stretches northeast to southwest, The great Bhoras Desert lies to the north, while the broken lands of Girith Khemon lie to the south. The width of the strait fluctuates from a mere quarter mile in one area to a wide four-mile span in another.
Primary Population: None
Secondary Population: None
Minor Population: None
Physical Characteristics: Navigating the saline waters of the Strait of Aklon demands skill, courage, and a keen awareness of the formidable forces that both shape and inhabit its treacherous waters. This navigable waterway allows for maritime passage between the Sea of Beledor and the Gulf of Kishar. Ocean going ships can make the crossing as the waters of the strait vary between 40 to more than 80 feet in depth throughout its length. The Strait of Aklon varies between a quarter mile in width in the narrows, to close to 4 miles wide in one area.
Environment and Ecology: The strait separates an arid wasteland.
Hazards and Challenges: Peril accompanies anyone who sails this maritime route. Severe earthquakes plague the region, threatening vessels navigating its waters with sudden violent waves. Terrifying tales recount boats being swept from the strait's channel and deposited onto dry land.
By venturing into these tumultuous waters, sailors may also confront the giant crocodiles that bask along the banks or lurk beneath the surface, ever ready to strike unsuspecting prey.
