Seligonian Trident

The Seligonian Trident is a strait in eastern Seligon, between the capes of Rísia, Avalia, and Delgor, the eponymous trident, and the Horn of Nokim.

Geography

The Trident lies at the southeasternmost point of the Elondorian mainland between Cape Dejo and Dóiteán at the boundary between the seas of Timesthe and Avalia. It forms a part of the Sandôrian Highlands and marks the most prominent spurs in its eastern third. Mostly of granite and andesite, the coastline is composed almost entirely of cliffs. Rainfall in the area is scant and vegetation sparse, except in a small number of bays and caverns with minor freshwater streams or lagoons.

The capes are considered a part of East Seligon and, like most of the region, is mostly devoid of human settlements. The closest major port is Sandôr, eight Olgish Leagues west of Cape Rísia. On the Nokimi side, coastlines are gentler, and while still rocky the landscape allows for small forests and groves. The distance from the tip of the Horn of Nokim to Cape Avalia measure only about 7.5 Olgish Leagues, the closest the two continents come over their shared coastline of over 70 Olgish Leagues. The closest major settlement in Nokim, the Nokimi harbour city of Thyssa, is located roughly 8.5 Olgish Leagues south of Cape Avalia.
