The '''Bright Sea''' is a large, but landlocked, body of water on [[Nalthis]] adjacent to [[Hallandren]]. [[T'Telir]] is built against its shore.{{book ref|wb|4}}

== Etymology ==
The Bright Sea is its original name. Since [[Idris]] split from [[Hallandren]], Idrians call the sea the '''Inner Sea''', to downplay its importance, since Idris was landlocked. Idris and Hallandren usually have different names for geographical features, due to the bad blood between them. However, in many cases, both names stuck, so Inner Sea and Bright Sea are used interchangeably by many.{{wob ref|6702}}{{wob ref|6964}}

== Geography and Ecology ==
The Bright Sea is an inland sea on Nalthis. It contains an unknown number of islands.

There many nations located on its shores. The most powerful of these nations is called Hallandren. Hallandren is located on the western shore of the Sea, this nation controls a good third of the coastline, as well as some islands.{{book ref|wb|9}} Tedradel is also located on it’s shore. The location of Tedradel is described as across the Bright Sea from Hallandren, which makes it lie somewhere in the east.{{book ref|wb|25}}  The eastern shore was also once inhabited by a fallen civilisation called the [[Chedesh]]. These people were great seafarers, and are said to have been the first to discover  the Hallandren valley.{{book ref|wb|32}}

[[T'Telir]], the capital city of [[Hallandren]], is located in a bay on the Bright Sea.{{book ref|wb|32}} This allows it to trade with many other places, such as [[Tedradel]] and a number of cities along the coast.{{book ref|wb|9}}{{book ref|wb|25}} T’Telir is the largest city to sell the valuable [[Tears of Edgli]], bringing it extreme wealth.{{book ref|wb|32}}
