Strashya Dam

The Strasyan Dam Seawall is a series of constructed locks and dams designed to keep water flowing outward from the lagoon rather than into it. It was made as part of the ongoing terraformation of Gishani's north channel into a freshwater lagoon and farming plane.

The dam was constructed by Xetto the Pugnacious and his crew of handpicked Masons, and runs for more than a kilometer over and through the coral.

The project has thus far been very successful, with the Lagoon now able to maintain a population of freshwater creatures. Unfortunately, the lower waters still have mercury, so it is ill advised to eat fish from the lagoon.

Routes of Passage

By Foot

On foot, you may walk south-to-north along the dam from the island to the coast across a series of wooden bridges just wide enough for tram tracks. These bridges are more rickety every year, and it's no longer safe to drive anything heavier than a car over them.

By Water

Boats may travel in and out of the Dam through a series of poorly maintained locks. Most of these require manual intervention atop the docks, and many have issues with the gates jamming or the fuses blowing due to the low power mode of the island.

Of Water

Water flows east-to-west from the inside of the lagoon and out into the sea. Along this route it pours out over the muddy quagmires and wetlands of Strashya's Nege Forest, depositing rich minerals from the inside of the atoll's growing basin and from the algae within it. This dense algae has already notably lightened the ocean in the region, and increased the yield of fish.
