Jhala contains the settled valleys of Red Flower Vale and Sweet Lotus Vale, the latter of which contains the port city of Ebonhead.
The cultural or religious heart of the islands seems to be Tall Trees Town, where priestesses carve histories and laws into the Talking Trees. Walano contains the settlements of Lotus Port, Last Lament, and Tall Trees Town. The Smiling Sea divides Walano and Omboru, and the Indigo Straits divide Omboru from Jhala. The three largest islands by far are (from north to south) Walano, Omboru, and Jhala, all of which are larger than the Stepstones. The islands, which number more than fifty, separate the Sunset Sea to the west from the Summer Sea to the east.
