Planet:Koldenwelt/Old/Inland Seas of Xa'in and Korishimia

The Inland Seas of Xa'in and Korishimia are two large inland seas on the Eastern region. They are large enough to have big islands. Very few have ever stepped foot on them, as an unknown nation of Elves known as the Islanders inhabit it, but also have a tight grip, fiercly defending their territories with strong naval forces.

Sea and defense perimiter
Surrounding the islands Xa'in and Korishimia, the first defense is a large fleet of steam powered warships, armed with cannons, huge crossbow-type weapons and rapid fire arrows, tipped with cyanide, as well as primitive flame throwers. The secondary defense is a large wall of carved granite over 12 meters tall. Various trebuche's and more rapid fire crossbows are placed across the edge, this time shooting flaming arrows. But perhaps the most advanced weapon are mirrors. They appear like dishes with thousands of tiny mirrors, which if focused on enemy vehicles in the correct way will magnify the sun thousands of times, burning sails, causing combustable materials to catch fire and burning or blinding incoming soldiers. The weapon is short ranged however.

Xa'in
Xa'in, although smaller than Korishimia has a greater importance to its peoples. Its wall, unlike Korishimia's, is hexagonal. Yet, it is a different nation to Korishimia, despite its similar defenses.

Korishimia
The largest of the islands, nearly as large as Ireland on Earth. It has huge, rich cities, terraced fields and large subtropical forests. There is even an underground train system, pulled along by giant Moler worms.

Lunsincth Mountains
There is a third island, the wildist of the inland seas, full of forests, beasts and mountain tribes. On a couple of there, there are large mystical temples devoted to science, the source and research of the Lunsinth. IT is said great treasures and ancient wisdom is locked in the mountains.

Other places
The insland seas do have several rivers to and from, two which lead to the true sea. Ships have been sighted travelling there to land beyond the ocean wall. Some of the rivers connect to minor villages and castaways near the seas.

The people
Not much is known about them, other than their advancements and isolation. They are believed to be nations of Elves, although their ears are more rounded and their faces more broad. They are called the Islanders by other nations, their real name has yet to be revealed.
