Calyan Delta

The Calyan Delta is a massive dispersal of the Calyan River after it meets the Tralten River in the Southwest of Gernon. It disperses into about one hundred tributaries that interweave and separate for the next 200 miles to the coast. The first 50 miles inland are still more sea than land, with thousands of islands of a wide variety of sizes. Here lives many communities of fisherman who harvest the endemic species to this brackish water region. Beyond that is a very swampy region, previously known as a highly dangerous region to pass through, but several safe pathways have been made for trade to make it up the rivers.
==Demographics==
The Calyan Delta is a highly Human region, with an estimated 90% human population, but a sizable gnome population does live there as well, mainly living as fisherman in the deep delta. Due to its distance from most non-seafaring populations, the Delta almost never sees any elves, orcs, or dwarves.
==Culture==
The people of the Delta are a very conservative group, worshipping many fundamentalist gods and keeping to a very simple, family based, and stoic lifestyle. While many of the people are involved in the river and sea trade that takes Spice Coast products to the rest of Gernon besides the Dorry Hills, they have a very different culture than their eastern port counterparts. The Calyans are Mainline Polythesists, though they prefer Abadar, Irori, Gozreh, and have a significant population of Iomedanians.
A controversial point for many Calyans is the doctrinal belief for followers of Cayden Cailean is that the lucky drunk god himself was born in Calyan, and that the names have evolved over time to account for the difference in spelling. The Calyans discount this belief, not wishing to accept that such a crazy and disreputable god came from their home, but each year some thousands of pilgrims come to Calyan city and congregate for mass prayer (otherwise looking like binge drinking to outsiders), and general frivolity.
