Geography

Tashluta was built atop the ridge and inner slope of a volcanic caldera, called the Tashalar Basin, that was partially flooded by the waters of the Shining Sea. The volcanic crater formed a natural harbor for the city's fleet of ships.
The narrow isle of Stormwall extended out from the sea at the edge of the harbor, shielding the bay from storms coming landward from the sea.
