A landlocked sea in Asia. The Caspian Sea is bordered in the present time by Russia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan. Old names for the Caspian include the "Khazar Sea" and the "Khvalissian Sea".

The Caspian holds a great amount of sturgeon, which yield eggs that are processed into caviar?. Overfishing threatens the sturgeon population.

The level of the Caspian has fallen and risen many times over the centuries. Some Russian historians claim that a medieval rising of the Caspian caused the coastal towns of Khazaria, such as Atil?, to flood.
