The Sapphire Sea
Nestled within the continent itself, the Sapphire Sea is a massive inland sea that connects to the Azure Ocean through subterranean trenches and winding channels. It is said that the Sapphire Sea was carved by the fall of a star, its basin forever imbued with arcane resonance. Waters here gleam like polished gemglass, reflecting not the sky, but the dreams of those who gaze upon it.
This sea serves as a trade nexus, spiritual center, and magical confluence. At its deepest point lies the Coiling Abyss, a fathomless abyss said to link directly to planes beyond mortal comprehension. Some scholars argue it touches the Weave itself, while others believe it is the wound left by a dead God’s tears.
Numerous city-states and fey-bound sanctuaries dot its shores, using the sea’s currents and ley energies to empower rituals, construct arcane architecture, or conceal secrets. Naval powers battle not only each other, but the monsters of the depths and storm-born spirits said to guard sacred isles.
