The Grand Canal of Benjalay is one of the great engineering feats of the modern world. The canal was constructed over the years 2697 to 2719 by a consortium of corpora mercia under the control of the Ishaamic Directory of Benjalay. The canal is often compared to the Grand Shadew Canal, as both works employ locks. The Grand Canal of Benjalay enables direct passage from the Askonian Ocean by sea through the Turtle Sea and the Kastubian Sea to the Shimehaz Ocean. Formerly any sea traffic from Askonian Ocean would need to circumvent the horn of Bahuna or even circumnavigate the globe which would require passage over the perilous Great Draconian Ocean of the western hemisphere.

The Grand Canal of Benjalay is a source of great wealth to the Ishaamate of Benjalay.
