Sea of Beledor
Pronunciation: BELLA-door
Map Index: D4, D5, E5-E7, F4-F9, G3-G10, H7-H10
Location: Off the coast of Aorlan, Beorlan, Centakus and Nhulokkarnum
Description: The Sea of Beledor sprawls vast and deep. Its waters are renowned for their tumultuous nature, characterized by towering waves and sudden, ferocious storms that seem to appear out of nowhere. In the south, chaos storms brew along the coastline before drifting out to sea, while to the north, massive storm systems barrel westward, colliding with the shores of Aorlan and Beorlan. Navigating these treacherous waters is a perilous endeavor, as sailors must contend with unpredictable weather and hazardous conditions. Despite the perils, the sea remains a vital artery for trade, attracting brave sailors and merchants seeking fortune amidst the chaos.
Primary Population: None
Secondary Population: None
Minor Population: None
Water Characteristics: The saline waters of the Sea of Beledor are heavily influenced by strong sea currents that circulate through them. In the north off the coast of Aorlan, an icy cold current flows out of the north and runs down the eastern Aorlan coastline towards Beorlan. The temperature of this current slowly warms the further it flows southward. By the time the current reaches the area of the Gulf of Shenn'valea the current is no longer colder than the surround air temperature. Flowing further onward, the current makes a strong eastward bend and flows off the northern coast of Centakus where it absorbs a tremendous amount of heat as it passes through the tropics. In this area the temperature of the water if approximately equal to the average dailey temperatures. Finally when the current reaches Nhulokkarnum it bends to the north and brings heat laden tropical water up into the Great Northern Sea. At this point, the current is warmer than the surrounding air temperature.
Geography and Geology: Most of the Sea of Beledor is over 1,000 feet deep except on the continental shelves near the coastline.
Climate and Weather Patterns: The climate varies from cold temperate in the far northern extent to tropical in the southernmost extent.
Marine Life: The Sea of Beledor teems with schools of fish. Beneath the surface, the Sea of Beledor contains hidden dangers, with tales of monstrous creatures lurking in its depths, some of them large enough that they can ensnare and sink unsuspecting vessels.
Cultural & Historical Significance: Piracy runs rampant along the coastlines of Nhulokkarnum and the southwest reaches of Aorlan near Khu and Kraal, posing a constant threat to maritime trade. Though the Valymyrrian navy patrols for pirates off the coast of Gral’tclon, elsewhere the scourge persists largely unchecked, inflicting significant losses upon commerce.
