The Inner Sea is a sea almost completely enclosed by land with Hasperia to the north, Arrakis to the south, and straits leading to oceans in the east and west. The Strait of Levcovouno guards the eastern entrance to the sea. The countries with coastlines on the Inner Sea include: Archadia, with its capital on Golfo Porporico‎; Leopoli; Magnessos; Montebianco; and Neogaranid Empire.

With so many nations having coasts on the Inner Sea and hence allowing for a large amount of trade and cultural exchange, the Inner Sea has always held great geopolitical importance. Small nations like Leopoli or Verduro survive by profiting off this trade which also attracts piracy and raiders, such as those from Thure and the Steyllch Enguerrand de Rochenoire. Additionally, the relative wealthiness of the civilisations on the coast of the Inner Sea prompts conflict and war: such as the Great Inner Sea War.
