The Wooden Sea of Saelun

Geography
The Wooden Sea of Saelun got its name from the vast amount of shipwrecks scattered across its sands. It is a desert of rock and sand, mesas stretching to the sky. Deep trenches mar the surface, remnants from a time when the continent was underwater. Pockets of salt water still bubble to the surface, with small communities struggling to filter potable water from the inhospitable sands.

Politics
There are several scattered communities hidden throughout the dunes and mesas of Saelun. However, the main political entity is the Iron Caliphate.

Economics
Because of the desert's history, there are massive quantities of salt throughout the land. Clever settlements and the Caliphate mine these places for its precious minerals. Throughout the mesas and mountains, gold and other valuable ores can be found.

Graveyard of Ships
The deserts of Saelun house the corpses of thousands of ships, the remains of the Great Navy of Moak'tenai. These ships have been buried for several Ages, their wood fossilized and covered by sand and rock. Most of the people living here have taken up residence in the ruins of these ships. Salvagers roam the desert, pulling apart old ships and selling them in the cities.
