The Topazial sea is a vast expanse of water that lies east of the "main" continent. It's truly immense and most of its eastern and northern reaches has never been mapped. Very few sailors have crossed this sea because of its dangers, but those who have speak of another continent beyond it, even richer and more exotic than the "main" one. The vastness of the Topazial sea is punctuated with many small isolated islands, and most of the activity that occurs in the sea occurs around them. Each of these islands is a world unto itself with it's own rules and it's own particularities.

The sea is also legendary for its seabed, littered with gems, and its healthy and extremely refreshing air. The Topazial sea is very dangerous however, with many aquatic predators of all sorts roaming it, and who won't hesitate to attack even large ships. It's also, like one would expect, the home of giant mermaids, and some of them can become truly gigantic. The biggest of them all, the legendary Leviathan, is living proof that there is always a bigger fish.

Reef of Ryzelm

Danger: High
Inhabitants: living whirlpools

The Reef of Ryzelm, also known as "the poison sea", lies in the southern part of Topazial sea. The ocean floor here is made of a strange stone that releases toxic gas when mixed with salt water, filling the air above the reef with noxious gases that are highly lethal to humans. Moreover, the waters here are extremely treacherous, being a succession of whirlpools, vicious reefs, and moving flotsam. Making this place even worse is the voracious fauna of the reef, which is strange and very aggressive. One wonders why anyone would bother to travel to this hellish place anyway...

Iceclad sea

Danger: Hazardous
Inhabitants:

Threnos island

Danger: Normal
Inhabitants: mermaids, estuarine mermaids, jade mermaids, alguanes ( river dryads ), nekos, humans, miaxi, serpent flies, fairies, seagull harpies, giant green catfishes, alga peparis, mirror fishes, seaweed snakes, ichthys, Water elementals, water sprites

A large island located in the middle of the Topazial Sea. It is very lush, foresty, and covered in rivers, all part of the great Emerald river that runs through it. Threnos is also called the "green island". It's a very damp place where the land vegetation often blend with the green algae that grow everywhere. Moreover, the waters of Threnos are full of a microscopic alga that gives it a distinct emerald green tint. The alga is harmless though, and gives a slight flavor to the water, not unpleaseant at all, as well as healing properties.

The well-named Emerald river itself is a sight to behold. It's not very wide but its rapidly flowing waters stretch in many different branches to every directions, creatig intricate and complex cirtcuits. Humans are used to fish it for the delicious alga pepari, but the area is very dangerous and many end in the stomachs of giant mermaids instead. The shores of Threnos are a wide expanse covered in a lovely golden sand with patches of a particular species of giant seaweed that can reach huge size.

Because Threnos island isn't as large as the mainland, it's predators are generally smaller as well. For instance, most mermaids don't reach more then 50 feet long, and dryads usually only reach heights of 70 feet. They have evolved though, so that their maws and throats are somewhat stretchy, still allowing them to gulp humans and smaller creatures down with ease. Threnos fairies also can't grow past human size, but can still use shrinking magic.

Izatem city

On the nothern shore of Threnos is a busy port where merchants and sailors sell many exotic goods, from rare aquatic life they captured, to the many wealths of the island such as its healing waters and algae. People of Izatem don't use much technology and are cautious of it, relying more on magic instead. Izatem is a strange sight to some, with many different species, from nekos, to ichthys, miaxi, or even some fairies mixed together. The city is very accepting and welcoming of all species in general. You can still get eaten but it's very rare.

The miaxi hive

A very old miaxi hive is located in the southeast part of the island. The humans and the beegirls have had a treaty for a very long time. Indeed, the miaxi queen doesn't have much of a taste for humans, but absolutly LOVES the taste of giant catfishes. Thus, the people of the island always catch the queen one or two of these large fish once per week, and in return get miaxi honey and, of course, aren't preyed upon. This friendship between miaxi and humans is stronger than anywhere else in Felarya, and it's not rare at all to see a miaxa travel in humans town of Threnos. Harming a miaxa without a very good reason is a very serious crime there. The offender is likely to be taken without delay to the hive and be fed to the queen.

Several times in the past did bee girls helped to defend humans towns against predators in a feeding frenzy, and reciprocally.
