The Warmwind Sea

Known to have had many names, this beautiful blue stretch of ocean is paradise on earth. Fruit trees crowd each of the small islands that dot this strip of water, bearing citrus year round and bananas and dates almost continuously. Coconuts have more of a seasonal approach.

"The waters cin git a bit tricky out 'ere, kid. Currents come out o' nowhere. Little whorly-pools will just appear in the midst of a dead calm. Fog'll roll in so thick ya cin taste it, and sometimes, even, all tha' compasses stop working. Weird, kid. Weird." Even though bright sun and mild, often hot weather are the norms here in the Warmwinds, it can be fickle and quick to anger, instantly wiping out entire villages. This happens on a rare enough basis that the populations of the local tribes have wealth to spend and to lend, selling surplus food to the 'Castle Folk, up north' for gold and platinum. Exotic spices and make-believe 'totems of water power' are also sold to the clueless dry landers for a handsome profit. There are literally thousands of shipwrecks in varying states of decay littering the bottom of this seaside nirvana, some of them loaded with wealth beyond measure.

Teotachetlan Pyramid Side View
A massive pyramid, swallowed by the tropical jungle that envelopes and encompasses everything around the Warmwind Sea, and this island is no exception. Outside, the temperatures regularly top 100°, but within the colossal sandstone structure it is nice and cool. The jungle humidity makes the stone slick in some places, and dangerous to those not familiar with, or properly equipped for, the phenomenon.
Teotachetlan The Queen's Room
The topmost void within the solid pyramid structure, it is marked as "the Queen's Room" on an old map purportedly made by the great adventurer, Trayvon the Bard.
Terrapin Isle
A tiny, lonesome little island...with a big, giant secret!
The Cerulean Trench
A deep, deep area of the The Warmwind Sea , the sheer sides of the trench harbor homes, businesses, and common areas, built by a huge consortium of Merrow that went on to form their own empire in 4840NG.
Terrapin Isle: Typical Village
A typical Terrapiner township of grass huts, arranged around the difficult landscape of their tropical homeland. The buildings are all on stilts, to accomodate the oft-flooded regions of the island, with the doorways generally landing on higher ground. Stairs and scaffolding help improve mobility throughout the hilly village.
