Editing Seafaring (section)

==Geography==

Because the world is oceanic and these islands lie between 30–55°N, the prevailing wind systems play a huge role.

===Wind Patterns===
* 30–35°N: Subtropical High — light winds, calmer seas.
* 35–55°N: Prevailing westerlies — strong west-to-east winds.

===Sailing Between Islands===
====1. Alba (West) to Isla Arbojan (East)====
Distance is about 2,500 miles.
* Easy eastward sailing, thanks to prevailing westerlies (like the North Atlantic Drift).
* Traders and explorers travel quickly with the wind.
* Return journeys are slower — may require tacking or following a longer southerly route.

====2. Isla Arbojan (East) to Veridia (North)====
* Northward journey into cooler, stormier waters.
* Warm currents aid navigation and climate near Island 2.
* Risk of seasonal storms (autumn), especially along eastern coasts.

====3. Veridia (West) to Alba (Southwest)====
* Difficult without advanced navigation — sailing into the windward direction.
* May follow coastal routes or use looping return paths with trade winds.

===Maritime Culture===
* Expect island-hopping trade networks, storm-season shut-downs, and sailor guilds.
* Coastal cities would be port-focused, with societies heavily influenced by tides, stars, and seasonal sea conditions.
* Likely legends of sea monsters, storm spirits, and sunken isles in folklore.
