The '''Bright Sea'''
== Etymology ==
▲The '''Bright Sea''' was a large, but landlocked, body of water. [[T'Telir]] was built against its shore.{{ref|b|wb|c|4}}
The Bright Sea
== Geography and Ecology ==▼
The Bright Sea is an inland sea on [[Nalthis]].{{book ref|wb|4}} It contains an unknown number of islands.{{wob ref|7400}}
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|4}}{{book ref|wb|9}} Tedradel is also located on it’s shore.{{book ref|wb|25}} 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}}
▲The Bright Sea was its original name. After [[Idris]] split from [[Hallandren]], Idrians called the sea the '''Inner Sea''', to downplay its importance, since Idris was landlocked. Idris and Hallandren usually had 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.{{ref|b|wb|a|29}}
There are dangerous storms in the spring.{{book ref|wb|42}} The Bright Sea is full of life, including many sorts of mussels, fish, and tentacled creatures.{{book ref|wb|22}}{{book ref|wb|40}}{{book ref|wb|53}}

== Cultural influence and Trade ==
The Bright Sea opens many trade routes to the kingdoms located on it’s shores.{{book ref|wb|9}}
[[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}}
[[Hallandren]] has a number of [[Stormrunners]] that sail the Bright Sea during the spring storms.{{book ref|wb|42}} The Bright Sea also plays a large role in why [[Hallandren]] has become the economic powerhouse it is at the time of the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]]. {{book ref|wb|9}}
The [[Pahn Kahl]] believed that the storms of the Bright Sea were a manifestation of their unity of five gods.{{ref|b|wb|a|29}}▼
