Aab-e-Farus

The Aab-e-Farus, which roughly translates to the Sea of Farus, is a sea that is connected to the Sea of Istroya and the Sea of Kandahar. It is almost entirely encapsulated within the continent of Audonia by what is referred to as the Middle seas region politically, economically, and culturally, of the Farusian Basin geographically. It also serves as the division between the Al'qarra and Daria regions Audonia.

The Aab-e-Farus is a critical trading route and fishing ground that serves all of the nations in its basin. Per sqkm it is one of the busiest bodies of water in the world.

Slavery Bay
During the Age of Exploration and the Age of Sail when much of the southern and eastern coast of the Aab-e-Farus was under the control of the Burgoignesc Colonial Empire. It was during these eras that the Aab-e-Farus gained the dysphemism, "Slavery Bay". This was because as the Bergendii took over the western half of the Silk Road, Daxia began to withdraw from its pervasive participation in the Silk Road Trade network, especially after the The Southern Route was established in the mid-17th century as an alternative to Bergendii controlled Silk Road. Looking to maintain the lucrative trade networks the Bergendii turned to many alternatives themselves but found that chattel slavery was the most lucrative. Throughout the latter half of the 17th century and throughout the 18th century, in addition to raw material extraction, the Bergendii colonies subsisted mainly on the revenues of the slave trade.
