Overview

A shallow sea that separates The Riding and the Empire of Polonia.

Description

The Forearc Basin is a sea ranging from 50 to 100 miles wide that separates The Riding and the Empire of Polonia. Even after the Dread Invasion, a large amount of traffic continues to trade along it, although more than half the trade is now conducted by the Southern Mercantile Company. Native traders from The Riding continue to provide some traffic, although most of it is now fishing and hired transport. Traders from further lands often call.

The major port city on the Forearc Basin is the Riding city of Greenmouth. The Polonian coast contains no natural ports, and many Polonian traders travel from the Polonian capital on the far side of the islands to Greenmouth.
