This might be my favorite. Something about that tiny stretch of water in the North, so clearly of strategic importance. Sometimes you can see where geography has created history. Is there a reference map somewhere to see where this fits in context? I couldn't figure it out from the various inner sea maps you've already published.

there's a map of the northern part of this area - <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/atlas-elyden-21-12558476.">https://www.patreon.com/posts/atlas-elyden-21-12558476.</a> Here's some bacgkround for the strait: ACCORD OF THE GATE, the: charter signed in 2824 RM between various parties, including the Order of the Gate and the ntns. Of Tahall, Parthis, Almagest, and Korachan, standardising the passage of vessels and taxation of trade across the Gate of Erebeth. No entity would monopolise trade across its waters. In exchange for its monopoly of trade across the gate Tahall would be able to tax westward trade across the Gate, via the city of Baratall. ORDER OF THE GATE, the: mil. order sworn to defend trade and traffic in general that passes through the Gate of Erebeth. The order was created in 2781 RM by merchant houses, magnates, patrician families and archpatricians to safeguard their business and shipping lanes across the Gate of Erebeth, into the Inner Sea to the E and the Sea of Serpents to the W, and beyond. Early in its history the Order clashed with the Tahalli and Sagittarian fleets, which until then had formed a trade monopoly across the Gate. Decades of harassment and privateer predation ended in in 2824 RM with the signing of the Accord of the Gate officializing the roles of all parties concerned. The order is well-funded and comprises a fleet of privateers that guard shipping, and provides guards to cavarans and merchant fleets. Its headquarters are in the free-city of Suchariit on the isl. of Nerita, though it possesses harbours and strongholds across the Inner Sea and the Sea of Serpents.

How much of your history is based on observing the geography and how much is the other way around? Do you create that straight and think, "That's a pretty important strategic position on a trade route" or are you consciously creating a setting for something you have in mind?

I think its a pretty equal 50/50 split. The Inner Sea map was one of the first pieces of worldbuilding I did for Elyden and most nations and major geographical features appeared on that original map first. Then I started expanding and added things to it as needed, making newer versions of the map to correspond. Now its mostly a mix as I incorporate existing map elements and, in some cases, alter them to fit an idea that I have for a region
