Crowded Sea

To the South, the continent of Zakhara was enclosed by the Crowded Sea, or Bahr Al-Izdiham in Midani. This body of water was so named both for the uncounted islands dotting its expanse and the heavy shipping activity fueled by long-distance trade. The eastern half of the Crowded Sea was dominated by four major islands: Afyal and Sahu in the North (both were also counted as part of the Ruined Kingdoms region ), Harab and Bariya to the South. Most of the smaller islands were contained in the archipelagos of Al-Sartan, Nada al-Hazan and the Djinni's Claws, as well as the uncharted Steaming Isles and Islands of the Utter South.
