Gorgona, Chain of Islands, Sea of Fate

Gorgona means "mermaid." Locals insist the island is frequented by fair, enticing mermaids.

The island rests 60 miles southeast of Trofi and southeast from the center of the chain of islands.

The trade at Gorgona is extremely good. It is attributed to the superior positioning in the island chain, appropriate policies of Trofi, and the presence of royal ships from Kornas. It receives freshly caught fish from Xifias, produce from Anemos and Aphrodite, and art from Pasithea.
