Dolphins are rare in comparison with whales, due to hunting for meat by islanders in the Natorn Archipelagoplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigNatorn Archipelago
The Natorn Archipelago, or the Natorn Isles [nah-TORN], is a chain of islands in the Natorn Sea. The islands are oceanic ridge running from the northeastern tip of Anásthias to the Anrel Isles. The ridge is an active geological fault, many of the islands being volcanic.Anásthias and along the equatorial and tropical coasts of Anásthiasplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigAnásthias
Anásthias [a-NAS-thee-ass / ænæsθiːæs], or [an-ass-THEE-as] is an equatorial island continent, heart of the Civilised World. The north straddles the equator and is hot and humid, while most of the equatorial centre is an upland plateau with fertile river valleys, and stretches of arid plains and desert in the shadow of the mountains. The south is temperate but more wild, separated from the civilisations of the north by the almost impassable Harthera. They are a more commonly seen in the cooler waters south of Munatanplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigMunatan
Munatan [Moo-Nah-Tahn] is the southernmost region of Anásthias, south of the Dun Trisan mountains. The name possibly derives from a ancient Thalsic, meaning “Land of One Sun”, since the daystar is not visible in the southern hemisphere. Or it may be a reference to the Manthi people who were once the majority population of western Munatan. The term is an OrorrOrorrOrorrHartheraHartheraOrorrOrorrOrorrHartheraHarthera, and in the Boreal Sea off the coast of Northland.
River dolphins are a smaller variety found in some large rivers of Anásthias, particularly the River Wiyel and the River Velun.
