General
The Sea Folk Isles are off the southern coast of the main continent, in the Sea of Storms, with others in the Aryth Ocean. Tremalking is the largest, southwest of Tarabon and Amadicia, while in the Sea of Storms, Cindalking and Quaim are the largest. In the Aryth Ocean, there are three notable island groups, Aile Dashar in the North, Aile Somera in the centre and Aile Jafar in the south. The exact number of islands and even their location is known only to the Sea Folk. Unknown to most people, the Sea Folk spend little time themselves on these islands and their actual inhabitants are known as the Amayar.
