THE ANCYTHRIAN
SEA ("DEVIL SEA", "WITCHKING'S
WATERS") |
||
The Ancythrian Sea is a large inland
saltwater sea in Santharia, nestled between the Enthronian Province to the South
and East, and the Province of Vardýnn to the North and West. From north to south
the sea measures around 420 strals and has around 260 strals of maximum width
measured from east to west. In opposition to its name, which comes from the
Styrásh meaning “Silent Sea” (actually the original name was "ancí'thyrón", the
Ancythrian Sea is not silent in the least, though it might have been calm in
ancient days. Today it is the home to many undersea creatures, such as the
cáeh'fish and khendochar, and home exclusively to the Ancythrian shark. The sea
is more than abundant in fish, and the local fishermen are sure to take
advantage of that. |
