The Pearls of Nyèlik are an archipelago extending from the northern coasts of Karrod further northward into the northwestern reaches of the Dawn Sea. They are named for Nyèlik the Mariner, an Abethine goddess believed to be one of the Children of the Most Eminent.

The islands are not, in the strict sense, part of the Abethine Coast, but over time have become culturally associated with it, and most of them are either ruled by or allied with the city-states of that region. As a result, though most of the native languages are Jirtsiengic, the ones that have not been replaced by Abethine transplants have been heavily influenced by them; this is especially acute in the major seaports, where Abethine influence is strongest.
