Great Northern Sea
Map Index: B6-B18, C8-C18
Location: North of the continent of Nhulokkarnum
Description: The Great Northern Sea sprawls north of the continent of Nhulokkarnum, its vast expanse dominating the northern reaches. Known for its untamed nature, it boasts considerable depth and formidable swells, presenting a challenge to unprepared ships.
Water Characteristics: The saline waters of the Great Northern Sea are cold year round with icebergs common in the spring and early summer months.
Geography and Geology: No known islands occupy this great watery expanse and only the continent of Aorlan touches this sea.
Primary Population: None
Secondary Population: None
Minor Population: None
Climate and Weather Patterns: Sailors recount tales of relentless storms, lasting for days, with fierce winds and towering waves that can easily overwhelm vessels. Navigating these waters demands caution and skill, particularly for trading vessels. In the sea's northernmost reaches, spring brings a new hazard: large icebergs, remnants of the floating ice shelves of the frigid north, pose a threat to navigation as they migrate southward.
Marine Life: The Great Northern Sea offers rich fishing grounds, especially around the north coast of Nhulokkarnum. Here, the waters are shallower and calmer, revealing the haunting ruins of once-mighty cities submerged during the Great Cataclysm. These sunken remnants now attract marine life, creating a thriving fishing spot.
Cultural & Historical Significance: The size of the Great Northern Sea grew as some of the coastal lands of Nhulokkarnum sank during the Great Cataclysm.
