ayrmas

Ayrmas is a fictional archipelago used in worldbuilding and fantasy fiction. The term is associated with the Ayrman language, a constructed language created for the setting, with "ayr" meaning sea and "mas" meaning islands.

Geography and ecology: The archipelago comprises five major islands—Eldara, Neris, Vayla, Keth, and Brumas—plus numerous islets. The climate is temperate with microclimates: rolling coasts, seagrass beds, and coral reefs. Strong maritime currents shape navigation and fishing grounds.

History and society: Settled by seafaring clans in ancient times, Ayrmas formed a loose confederation known as the Council of Tides. Society emphasizes crafts linked to the sea—shipwrights, navigators, and fisherfolk—supported by guilds and seasonal rites tied to tides and monsoon cycles.

Culture and language: The Ayrman language features a syllabic script used in prayer tablets and ship logs. The Tide Festival, celebrating storms and safe voyages, is a hallmark of common life. Religious practice centers on sea spirits and ancestral maritime heroes.

Economy and ecology: The economy relies on fishing, coastal trade, and shipbuilding. Practices favor sustainability, with reef protections and regulated harvests. Local fauna includes seabirds, dolphins, and migratory whales that feature in myth and navigation lore.
