The naval warfare of the three nations and the raiding of enemy merchant shipping has made the Triloc Sea nearly impassable to normal shipping.

+ | ===The Seven Sisters=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Seven Sisters are towers magically created deep in the origins of the world. They are lighthouses raising 500' above sea-level, surrounded by a heavy fortified base rising 80' above sea-level. There are mighty harbors on each of the fortifications. The islands are large and each has its own native population as well as factors for most shipping lines with various corporations preferring working on various sisters. The population of the Sisters are considered part of the ''Great City''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | *Four of the Sisters are in the Inner Sea: '''''Fala''''', '''''Tala''''', '''''Gana''''', '''''Reas'''''. | ||
+ | *Three are in the Outer Sea: '''''Trin''''', '''''Droa''''', '''''Gals''''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | These are the first stop for the deep water shipping on their way to the Inner Sea and the Great City. | ||
+ | |||
+ | While warfare occurs in the open waters of the five seas by tradition battles do not continue once a ship passes the Sisters. | ||
+ | Many merchant ships stop at the Sisters and off-load cargo to smaller Inner Sea ships, taking one cargo for return trips. | ||
