Ria is known for it’s numerous coves and hidden bays.   The tropical islands of Ria connect all ocean going cargo for the Empire of Tellairus. They also serve as a boarding place for the sea voyage to the Province of Cilaria, as well as a base for seafaring trade with the Dragonlord Kingdom.  Most prisoners of the Great Seal who are not born into it pass through Ria.

Ria is known for it’s numerous coves and hidden bays.  The coastal waters of Dominus and Ralicus are too shallow for deep water vessels and are limited to coastal fishing craft.  Any heavily laden ships must therefore dock in Ria.  Smaller craft then shuttle the cargo to the inland cities, as their shallower draft allows these vessels to enter the less impressive harbors of the mainland.

Nearly all seafaring cargo passes through the primary harbor, including prisoners bound for the Great Seal in the Province of Cilaria.  Rough seas can sometimes force passengers and cargo to dock in the secondary harbor alongside the shipyards.

It is know that the Rian people are fine sailors and rumors say they don’t always sail clear of illicit cargo, if there is sufficient profit to be made.  They are a raucous and fun loving people, when not working aboard their fine ships.
