Seynan Islands
The Seynan Islands form a dense group of islands in the southwest of the Helerin Archipelago. Characterized by their stunning coastal landscapes and rich marine ecosystems, the Seynan Islands are home to the Free Peoples, whose culture is deeply intertwined with the sea and its bounties.
Climate
The Seynan Islands have a dry-summer climate, similar to much of the Helerin Archipelago. The southern and eastern islands experience warmer temperatures, while the northern and western islands are more temperate. Summers are typically hot and dry, with little rainfall, while winters bring cooler temperatures, although snow is very rare. The prevailing winds, primarily from the northeast, create a dynamic weather system that can lead to sudden storms, especially along the coastal regions.Geography
The geography of the Seynan Islands consists of a series of smaller islands, each with its unique features. The larger islands are often characterized by rocky cliffs that rise steeply from the sea, providing dramatic views and serving as nesting grounds for seabirds. The waters surrounding the islands are relatively shallow, particularly in the region known as the Shallows, where nutrient-rich currents support a thriving marine ecosystem. Each island hosts diverse landscapes, from the sandy beaches of Seynin Farlas, where turtles nest, to the rugged cliffs of Pelsa, which attract climbers and adventurers. The larger islands feature small towns that serve as centers for trade, fishing, and cultural exchange among the communities.Flora
The Seynan Islands boast a variety of plant life that has adapted to their unique coastal environments. Hardy shrubs and grasses are common, with species like Hagleaf ferns thriving in the wetter regions. The presence of trees, such as Cedar and Olive, provides valuable resources for local inhabitants, while the islands’ rocky shores are often home to various aquatic plants, including Harthanweed and Kalprin.Fauna
The Seynan Islands are teeming with wildlife, both in the water and along the shores. Playful seals can often be seen diving for fish or basking on the rocky outcrops. On some islands, otters have become cherished residents. Seabirds, including gulls and the hardy Stormhunter, populate the coastal skies, scavenging for food or hunting for fish. The waters are rich in fish species, such as Pargam, Melmakkir, and Dolki, providing sustenance for local communities. However, the presence of larger predatory creatures, including the formidable Krethgorr and the dangerous Lorghee, adds an element of danger to fishing expeditions. The elusive Giant Octopus lurks in rocky crevices, showcasing its intelligence and adaptability. The islands' abundant marine environments support thriving populations of crustaceans, such as shrimp and mussels, which are highly sought after for their delicate flavor. The rich biodiversity reflects the islands’ connection to the sea, as many plants and animals rely on the coastal ecosystem for survival.Inhabitants
The Free Peoples of the Seynan Islands have a resilient culture shaped by their maritime environment. Predominantly Humans, with notable populations of Kazlaa and Keeva, the islanders have developed a strong community spirit centered around fishing, crafting, and trade. Each town has its own unique customs and traditions, reflecting the diverse heritage of the islands. The largest inhabited islands are:- Sar Ferrat
