The Blackden Archipelago is a vast maritime expanse located in the Nãkama Sea. It is a territory steeped in mystery and danger, bordering the coasts of the Republic of Takkanor. Although the archipelago is situated in the Nãkama Sea, it is not the main passage for large merchant fleets. Ships that venture there sail far from the usual routes, making it a place ripe for unexpected encounters.
The archipelago is home to islands with wild and hostile landscapes. Notably, it includes Mantra island, a land marked by dense jungle, thick swamps, and the vestiges of an ancient temple. The atmosphere there is heavy, almost supernatural.
The population of the archipelago is very dispersed and discreet. One finds only small fishing or farming villages, such as the one located on Mantra island, which live in seclusion from the major maritime routes. These communities are often isolated and depend on trade with the continent (notably towards Cloveryeard Island or Staoslam city) for their essential needs.
