Shivan Archipelago

• What it is: A large cluster of islands southeast of Altazia, serving as a vital bridge between Altazia and Miasina — connected by ancient teleportation networks.

The Shivan Archipelago is a strategic chain of islands linking the two major continents. It features a network of ancient teleports that allow for rapid travel across the ocean — remnants of the Ikosian era.

Culture and Language

The islands were briefly colonized by the Ikosian Empire, leaving behind many inscriptions and a dialect of "broken Ikosian" that remains the common tongue. However, each island possesses its own unique local culture, traditions, and governance.

Economic Status

The archipelago occupies a critical position for maritime trade. The nation of Tetra maintains a near-monopoly on trade routes passing through these islands, making the archipelago economically dependent on Tetran naval protection.
