Airendhe

The Airendhe, or "White Sea" in the language of the Dulama, is a large body of water lying south of the Dulama Empire, between two of the largest peninsulas in the known world. The climate is a pleasantly warm one; the winds are dominated by a monsoon pattern, though occasional severe cyclones can rip through the sea, especially in the late spring and early autumn. Its waters have been plied for centuries by merchants from the Haina and Saigh alike, carrying numerous trade goods, and eventually discovering lands such as the isles of Rema.
During the decline of the Haina and the Dulama Empire alike, it became a major hub of piracy, supported by the pirate-king of Saigh, Paitlo, and his short-lived Paitloma Empire. However, the rise of the Trahana ended most piracy, as the Trahana made a concerted effort to clear the coastline of pirate havens. Today, most of the shores of the sea fall under the domain of the Emperors of Trahana, with tiny Opul'annai the only other state of note on its shores.
