Lesser Moraq is large island found near the Cinnamon Straits, where the Summer Sea meets the Jade Sea.
Geography[]
Located west of the Great Moraq, south of Vahar and northeast of Wyvern Point in Sothoryos, the shores of Lesser Moraq define the northwest edge of the Cinnamon Straits, one of the two routes into the Jade Sea from the western Summer Sea.
Cities[]
There are one large city on the island of Lesser Moraq, Ylios, but it is not particularly large or populous, even compared to Faros on Great Moraq or Zabhad on the Isle of Elephants.
- Ylios - Famed for its domed marble buildings that overlook the azure waters of the harbour from the gentle rolling hills to the north, Ylios is a port-town found on the southwestern side of the island. The people of Ylios are generally considered to be a welcoming people, but those that break their rules, considered confusing and peculiar by many of those that visit the isle, may be subjected to punishment and execution in the traditional fashion. At the centre of the town, flanked by shops, winehouses and a large marble lighthouse, a pit of great depth has been dug. Those deemed guilty of their crimes are tossed into the mulch that has built up over decades and centuries, to drown in the remains of those that have come before them.
Recent History[]
Throughout 362AC, a great number of minor conflicts took place in the Summer Sea and Cinnamon Straits between the Ivory King and the fleets of Great Moraq, Lesser Moraq and Vahar.
