The Torn Sea

A place of untamed chaos and despair, the Torn Sea is a graveyard of ships and souls—a vast, merciless expanse where the ocean itself is ripped apart by unfathomable forces. Here, the waves do not simply crash against unseen reefs or disappear into stormy depths; they plunge into yawning abyssal chasms that stretch for hundreds of miles, swallowing anything caught in their relentless pull. These Tears, as they are known, are vast, bottomless maws, their currents inescapable and their destinations unknown. To be caught in one is to be lost forever.
Yet, it is not only the sea itself that dooms those who dare cross it. From the shadows of the endless depths, unseen horrors stir—creatures of the deep, leviathans older than the land itself, rising from their slumber to drag even the mightiest vessels beneath the waves. Dragons are whispered to soar above the dark waters, their presence a silent omen of the perils below. Those who have survived passage through the Torn Sea speak in hushed voices of great black shapes moving beneath their ships, of shrieks carried on the wind, and of the chilling certainty that they were being watched.
Few are reckless enough to tempt fate in the Torn Sea. Fewer still survive to tell the tale. To sail these waters is not bravery—it is madness.
