|Introduction=The Realm of '''Fendralis''' is a vast tropical archipelago, once part of [[Orrakar]], but now claimed by the sea. Towering plateaus rise from turquoise waters, their sheer cliffs remnants of a world before the flood. Coral reefs, submerged ruins, and tangled kelp forests hide the remnants of a lost age, while monsoons and rogue waves shape the ever-changing landscape.  


Despite its beauty, Fendralis is not a land of peace—storms rage unpredictably, the depths hold forgotten secrets, and the Nahari who call this place home guard it fiercely.

===Landforms=== 
Fendralis is made up of '''seven main islands''', each an autonomous member of the Fendralis Federation. These islands, though diverse in landscape and culture, are united by a shared heritage and a deep connection to the sea. Despite its beauty, Fendralis is not a land of peace—storms rage unpredictably, the depths hold forgotten secrets, and the Nahari who call this place home guard it fiercely.
- The Mesa-Isles – Towering rock formations, the last remnants of ancient Orrakari canyonlands, now standing as islands covered in lush jungle and waterfalls. 
 
- The Coral Wastes – Vast, treacherous reef fields, riddled with shipwrecks and submerged ruins, where only Nahari navigators can sail safely.
|Geography=Fendralis is a fragmented world, where land and sea intertwine in a way unlike any other realm.
- The Drowned Steps – The remnants of an ancient canyon road, now half-sunken, forming a maze of tidal channels and deep sinkholes. 
- The Abyssal Trenches – Deep ocean chasms, where the sun never reaches, rumored to be home to ancient beings and forgotten Nahari secrets.
- The Stormbreak Coast – A region constantly ravaged by typhoons, where wave-carved cliffs and hidden grottoes serve as fortresses for Nahari warriors and pirate fleets.


===Notable Locations===
===The Seven Islands of the Fendralis Federation===
Though ever-changing, certain places hold legendary significance in Fendralis.
Each island of the federation has its own unique landscape, culture, and role within the archipelago.


- Va’karis – The floating capital of the Nahari Federation, built upon the highest mesa still above water, with structures both above and beneath the waves.
* '''Va’karis''' – The floating capital of the federation, built upon the highest remaining mesa. This island is the political and cultural heart of the Nahari people, featuring both above-water and underwater structures.
- The Sunken Spires – The half-drowned ruins of a forgotten civilization, some still visible just beneath the water, others lost forever.
* '''Azura’Shel''' – Known for its vast coral labyrinths and phosphorescent tidal caves, this island is home to the Nahari’s greatest navigators and deep-sea dwellers.
- The Maw of the Abyss – A massive trench, so deep that even the Nahari fear to dive too far. Some say it whispers to those who get too close.
* '''Stormhaven''' – A rugged island constantly battered by typhoons, its towering cliffs and hidden grottoes serve as fortresses for warriors and pirate fleets.
- The Broken Chain – A series of shattered land-bridges, once connecting Fendralis to Orrakar, now standing as isolated cliffs and hidden coves.
* '''Mirak’Tol''' – A sprawling island with dense jungle-covered ruins from an age before the flood, filled with ancient Nahari relics and mysterious overgrown temples.
- The Black Shoals – A region where the water turns dark, and even the bravest sailors refuse to venture. It is said that those who enter never return the same.
* '''Driftspire''' – A chain of floating reef-islands, constantly shifting due to unpredictable tides. The Nahari here have adapted to a nomadic, seafaring way of life.
|Climate=Fendralis is a tropical realm, shaped by unpredictable weather patterns and a delicate balance between calm beauty and violent chaos.
