Stormwash Channel

Description
The Stormwash channel separates the two main islands of the Twin Isles. Due to its sheltered location, the waters in the channel are mostly calm, making them perfectly suited to boat traffic. However, once per year a strange weather event occurs causing the seas in the channel to become violently turbulent. During this time, boatmen often bring their boats ashore or sail further out to sea. It is from this event where the storm washes through the channel that the channel gets its name. The Stormwash province of the Imran Empire spans both sides of the channel. While the Glory Lands and the capital Imros also have significant coastline along the channel, the ports of these provinces are not nearly as developed and thus the channel is considered part of the Stormwash province.
