Bellisseria Waterways Network

The premium continent of Bellisseria has a large and complex waterway network. This network allows sailors to cross from South Sansara to Jeogeot and to Satori. Most large waterways are also airplane flight corridors. It consists of different types of waterways:

1. **Major Waterways.** They are large, deep and suitable for the biggest ships.
2. **Conventional Waterways.** They are shallower and often have bridges. Suitable for average-size ships.
3. **Minor Waterways.** Smaller or shallower, they give access to local areas (like stilt houses and boathouses).
4. **Non-Navigable Waterways.** They are rivers, with low bridges and often with faterfalls, suitable only for small boats.
5. **Endorheic Waterways.** Unconnected to the waterway network, they can provide local access.

The waterway network completes the Bellisseria Roads Network and Bellisseria Railways into a continental network.

Depending on subcontinent, the waterways take different forms and are suitable for different types of vehicles.

## Western Waterways

They are the most complex part of the system and are located in Primordial Bellisseria and Victorian Subcontinent. To North, they extend to Elements Mountains in Southern Sansara, without being being linked with the main Sansara Waterways Network. The waterways separating large islands are large, deep and suitable for any large ships. There are a few rezz zones along the way. In South, it is connected to Jeogeot Gulf, Jeogeot North Islands and Water Passage, as there, Bellisseria and Jeogeot are linked into a large supercontinent like Eurasia in real world.

Within Primordial Bellisseria, one can find a large body of water, the Bellisseria Lagoon, which is connected with the other water basins through four rivers. Along the waterways, there are many places designed for boathouses, which have their inner waterways.

There are many rivers that flow into the ocean, but they are not suitable for sailing as they often have low bridges.

## Central Waterways

The Bellisseria Forest is a large continental landmass. There is only one coastal waterway in South which links the East and West. Navigation is difficult there, as sometimes the waterway is narrow but shallow enough to allow ships to pass through. There are no significant rivers going inside the dryland.

There is one endorheic river inside the forest, large and with its water surface elevated compared to the ocean. It is long and forms a central North-South transport route. Also, there are many small, isolated waterways inside the subcontinent. Most of them lack rezz zones and have no practical importance for sailing.

To South, the Magic Subcontinent is linked to the coastal waterway. There, the coastline is not complete. There are many rivers which are suitable for small boats for navigation. Please don't use boats with modern engines there.

## Water Paradise

The Water Paradise is a large place with stilt houses and an extremely complex water network. There, roads are scarce and often not interconnected, but waterways are well developed. There is a central and wide waterway that is suitable both for the largest ships and for airplanes as a transit route.

Small ships can find almost endless routes within the subcontinent, through the many passages that exist between the islands and houses.

## Eastern Waterways

Inside East Bellisseria, there is a large river crossing the whole subcontinent, which continues the major waterway of Water Paradise. It is also possible to sail along the Southern coast, where many boathouses can be found. The Northern coast is not completed. One can also move North-West towards Sakura, a subcontinent connected only by a waterway. Sakura has many rivers, but they are not interconnected, forming some remote waterways.

To North there are places for stilt houses and boathouses, which are separated by many waterways. From there, one can reach Ashlite Sea within Satori Waterways Network and sail further towards Nautilus and as far as Gaeta 5. To East, the waterway network ends in Far South Satori, into a small waterway that is connected through Satori Southern Railway with the continent's road network.

The waterway network of Bellisseria is the longest and most complex water network from all continents. It consists of at least 400 km of navigable waterways and 1000 km of smaller waters.
