The South Sea is the large body of water between Veth, Alesia, Greater Pentland and Bahija.

Geographic Features

The warm current from the Road of the World spills into the South Sea on the northeastern side and reaches just past Bahija, where it begins clashing against the cold arctic waters of Alesia, creating a perpetual stormy weather system. The South Sea mellows out near its northern reaches. However, a persistent whirlpool called Hell's Eye sits in the bay of South Arangoth, between Drache and Antara, creating another sailing hazard.

The Western part of the South Sea is in the hands of the Pentlanders and the Seccans. A large underwater reef system called the Terrimian juts out between Pentland and the mainland, discouraging conquests due to high risk of ship loss and treacherous currents that get strongest just near the reefs. There are rumors of sea monsters here, mostly ones that resemble aquatic dragons and whale-shark leviathans.

Trade and Piracy

The South Sea is very important to the economies of all its adjacent nations, including Arangoth, Aslar, Elluria, Bahija, Secca, Greater Pentland, Myst and others. The most important navies belong to Secca, Pentland and Bahija. South Arangoth recently acquired a navy too but most the vessels were hand-me-downs from the Pentlander fleet, given away in exchange for generous trade concessions.

Some of the most infamous pirates in the world hunt in the Southsea trade lanes. These include the Korthai, a feared, seafaring race. Bahijan pirates, black and white, are a common sight, as are Arrants. Tuil Fionn pirates also fancy themselves political rebels and hit Pentlander ships almost exclusively.
