Maissez Jaire

Maissez Jaire is a cluster of islands east of Olaka and west of Kyrol. There are some small settlements along the coasts of the islands, but the majority of Maissez Jaire's "citizens" are hermit tiaquin that live underwater far from one another. "Neighbors" may only see each other when coming to buy supplies, and there is a strong culture of self-sufficiency among inhabitants of Maissez Jaire. Because of the large number of coves and caves within Maissez Jaire's waters that are dry despite being underwater, there are sometimes non-tiaquin Kylians that live in these "air-pockets" where the water does not reach and use spells or scuba gear to venture into the waters when needed. Such people are often regarded as "honorary tiaquin" by their distant neighbors for their independence and disregard for what the world says they "should" do.
Land settlements in Maissez Jaire trend towards being rugged and wary of outsiders; they trade with sea-faring tiaquin and larrier that pass through and stock up on supplies, but there is a very clearly defined line between who is part of the community and who is not. Rumors spread by word of mouth, often relating to the other islands in Maissez Jaire, as the inhabitants of the island chain tend to be hardly concerned with the outside world.
