Undersea
Overview
The Undersea is a sea perpetually lost in mist, stretching beneath the elevated Provinces of Caer Esvander and Caer Alcada on the floating Enosha peninsula.
Dangers
The shallows are numerous, making it very dangerous to venture into. The number of wrecks strewn across this sea, their carcasses impaled on sharp reefs, is countless. Beware of straying from established routes.
Water Phenomena
Sometimes, gigantic bubbles of water rise from the Undersea and drown certain rocks of the floating Vanderun Shards above.
Port of Dusk
A port for light vessels has been installed beneath the suspended city of Dusk. The city is perpetually shrouded in darkness, built under the floating rocks of Caer Esvander. Humans live there in troglodyte habitats connected by suspended bridges.
Sundström Route
A navigable route called the Sundström Route has been found between Suspira and Arkaster that passes through the Undersea. Previously considered too impracticable by pilots, this route now allows ships to drastically reduce travel time when delivering Kelon to the capital. Dusk remains an almost obligatory stopover point on this channel.
