Neritic Strait

Introduction

The Neritic Strait is the water line that seperates The Renn Empire and Siklin Island from one another. Most sailors steer clear of the area however as because of the various dangers present there.  

Dangers

The waters that flow through the strait at violent speeds and the Undead Sailors that swim through it sink most any ships that pass even close to the area. Those that manage to avoid sinking tell stories of masses of deformed sea creatures assaulting the ship, breaching the hull, and ripping crewmen off the deck. Although nothing is confirmed, the leading theory from The Empire is that The Undead Curse from Siklin Island has managed to spread to the waters and affect marine life. Despite this however, the fishing industry based in Renzick still earns large profits every year.  

History

The Neritic Strait has always had intense rapids that on their own are able to damage and even sink large ships. The so-called Undead Sailors only appeared after the fall of The Renn Republic and the loss of the Siklin Province.  

Siklin Island

After the transition from Republic to Empire, the Empire lost all contact with Siklin Island. Because of the political happenings at the time organizing an official investigation into what had occurred. Believing the Island to have fallen to Republic remanents - possibly even Republic Commandos - the new and first Emperor sent the also newly established Imperial Investigation on their first assignment outside of the capital. The IIU, accompanied by several Wizards with Knights filling up the numbers, left for the Siklin Province.   It is unknown whether the expedition reached the island or if they sunk under the unending hordes of deformed marine life. The earliest reports of Unknown sailors, however started to appear a few weeks after the expedition left port.  

Notes
