Overview
An inland sea. The Sea of Yimmuz is a diluted saltwater sea that takes up a pocket in the corner of the Huvzalte Desert. It is thought that long ago rivers ran to the seas to the north and south, only to be closed up during The War. Most of the sea is not worth traversing as only a few types of fish and aquatic creatures can survive the specific salinity.
Geography
Beyond the diluted sea itself, to the southeast of the sea is a small tropical jungle that is one of the more lush places in continent. On the western edges are muddy foothills and silt bogs as well as a marshland that filters much of the mountain run off from Oruk’s Mir.
