Palau 🇵🇼
Palau is home to the aptly named “jellyfish lake”. Here, you can swim with these cute squishy little creatures without any protection. This is because, after years of isolation with no natural predators, the jellyfish were under no evolutionary pressure to retain their stingers and became completely passive.

The grinding of tectonic plates caused large volumes of Igneous of rock from rising magna.
The superstructure covers around 222,000 square kilometers AKA 85,000 square miles.
The ocean basins contain numerous volcanic ridges, seamounts and large igneous provinces (LIPs). The Melanesian Border Plateau was constructed from four volcanic sources
The MBP was built through four distinct episodes which will be examined here

Ever heard of the Melanesians? They're a small ethnic group of dark-skinned people with natural blond hair and I think they might have been the inspiration for the unique look of the Velaryons!
I have! Also the Melanesians have a long history of seafaring, just like the Velaryons.
