This long, narrow, shallow body of warm water, the southernmost arm of the Dramidj Ocean, separates the Baklunish lands from those of north-central Oerik. It is populated by merfolk, particularly between the Janasibs and Komal (a state on the far side of the gulf). The merfolk are traditional allies of the Komali, but are generally well disposed toward most peoples, preferring trade to warfare. On the eastern shore of the gulf is the original central portion of the old Baklunish Empire, its ruined legendary capital existing somewhere within. This region today is avoided by nearly all living things and is now a land dominated by undead horrors and ruined landscapes.
