Vandille Gulf
In the content of Hymar and off the coast of Kyporea lies the Vandille Gulf, the body of water existing as the 'mouth' of the 'Face of the East'. This gulf borders Diraz and Nedia as well as the Routhane Ocean and the Hallermere Sea. The Vandille Gulf serves as the primary zone of trade and transportation between the three countries. In times of war, it also serves as the graveyard for any ships looking to pass through, and many treasures have found their way to the bottom of this place.
Localized Phenomena
Over the years, there have been many treasures lost to the Gulf due to blood and war. As a result, treasure-hunting is a small and largely non-profitable but still performed job across its three border countries. This has given rise to the legend that the Vandille Gulf acts as a siren and lures people to their doom. Legends say that those who spend too much time observing the Gulf find strange, shimmering lights at the edge of their vision, and shortly thereafter dive beneath the waves and never return. There has been no evidence that this is magical in nature, and the strange lights are attributed to the scales of the Rainbowfish catching the light.
Fauna & Flora
The Vandille Gulf is known for its Rainbowfish, which are born in one of a myriad of colors, each one of the rainbow. The fish have a natural-born instinct to consume other Rainbowfish of different colors to assimilate the scale coloration into their own. The more colors a Rainbowfish has, the more prized it is on the market, and some are even kept as pets.
History
The Vandille Gulf was the first point of witness for the most famous Naturalist in Diraz's history, a Talkha by the name of Ikauri Rekana. Legends say they sunk a ship without ever laying a finger on it and swam with the sharks.
