-This massive, shallow area of the ocean is the primary reason it takes so long to circumnavigate [[settings:jaern|Jaern]], as ships cannot pass through it. Adjacent to the continent of [[settings:jaern:geleia|Geleia]], touching its western shore, most navigators treat the Great Rice Patty (GRP) as a landmass. Its depth ranges anywhere from three to twenty feet, with some tiny outcroppings poking above the surface. Due to its favorable climate, the GRP is the "breadbasket" of much of southern Jaern, most of its population subsisting off rice or seaweed farming. +This massive, shallow area of the ocean is the primary reason it takes so long to circumnavigate [[settings:jaern|Jaern]], as ships cannot pass through it.

 Villages, towns, and cities built on stilts and flotillas are present all around the GRP. Most of the eastern side is under the jurisdiction of Geleia - although some are in the domain of the lizard kingdom of [[settings:jaern:tysaleth|Tysaleth]]. The western parts of the GRP are under the control of [[settings:jaern:therhine:centralia|Centralia]] and [[settings:jaern:keerlevex|Keer'Levex]]. Small pockets of adventurer-controlled land exist throughout as well. Villages, towns, and cities built on stilts and flotillas are present all around the GRP.

 It is also the richest city in the Patty, and most Pattians see residents as pretentious pricks who simply have some fundamental disconnect with the world. Rumor has it that a thriving Surham thieves' guild, the Graytalon, operates here and makes the city their smuggling center.  It is also the richest city in the Patty, and most Pattians see residents as pretentious pricks who simply have some fundamental disconnect with the world.

-**Riptide Peak:** This town is located in the Mosaic, on the western coast of the GRP. It is controlled by Centralia. Much of it is built on an artificial island built within the old, bleached bones of a long-dead giant whale. The island was created by visiting mages from [[settings:jaern:ageron|Ageron]]. Originally, it was a town like any other, but in 10077 a catastrophic storm destroyed much of the crop for the year and eroded away a significant amount of seabed. +**Riptide Peak:** This town is located in the Mosaic, on the western coast of the GRP.

 Several [[lore:creatures:abysslings|strange creatures]] washed up, and ever since the storm, Riptide Peak has been communicating less and less with other villages, only making contact with Centralia once every few months to ship out their goods. Rumors of a thriving religious movement have been spreading here, though. Several [[lore:creatures:abysslings|strange creatures]] washed up, and ever since the storm, Riptide Peak has been communicating less and less with other villages, only making contact with Centralia once every few months to ship out their goods.
