Fjords

**Fjords Islands** is a cluster of thousands islands located in the Vortex Sea.

**Sunset Island****,** **Shallow Water Island** and **Crescent Moon Bay** formed a closely-connected business circle. Although the three islands are not very big in size, they held the most population and power as the first residential area in the Fjords.

## Background

Thousands of islands scattered around the Swirling Sea.

The land where the people can survive is very scarce in the Fjords, where the water rises and falls, some islands will be swallowed at high tide. While other islands spew flames and smoke all day long, and they have such a high temperature that even the stone melts, converging all into a dark red river.

## Chronology

Fjords Islands are progressivly discovered by explorers and colonized, to expend the ressources available, because the inhabitable land in the Fjords are scarce.

## Climate

Within the Fjords, where even during the strongest winter it was difficult for them to see heavy snowfall.

The further east you sail, the more unpredictable the climate will become, and the same also applies to the islands. Raging hurricanes and the suddenly appearing fog are not uncommon in these regions.

The belief of the Three Gods is widespread. Regarding this the Seafolk, and the Sandpeople are quite similar. They both worship the sky, the sea, and the earth.

The customs in the Fjords Island are different from each other. On the island where **Rex** grew up, you can marry as many people as you want.

The habitants of the Fjords love eating fish for every meal. They ate it in all kinds of variations, roasted, boiled, and not to forget deep fried. Furthermore, there is also something similar to frozen fish, fish sauce, caviar and other strange preparations.

In the Fjords, being an explorer isn’t just a hollow title. The land where the people can survive is very scarce in the Fjords. Only those who open up new channels, or find a new suitable place for people to live, are eligible to get this title, so there aren’t many people who proclaim themselves explorer.
