Sea of Malankhas
The Sea of Malankhas rests around 20º north of the equator in the northern hemisphere of the world of Asdar and is mostly within the tropics. The Sea of Malankhas is part of the greater Askonian Ocean. The sea communicates by several straits to other bodies of water, namely by the Strait of Ummak to the Memnosian Sea, by the Strait of Halawjat to the Titans Sea, by the Strait of Lumei to the Chaos Sea, and by the Strait of Ptohlia to the greater Askonian Ocean. The large island of Ptohlia delimits the southwestern bounds of the Sea of Malankhas. The waters in the northern portion of the Sea of Malankhas before it reaches the Strait of Ummak are called the Jukk Sea, named after the Jykki Orcs of Danona.
Much of the Sea of Malankhas has a wet season and a dry season.
