Captive Sea
Created millennia ago to contain the titan, Rayabou, the Captive Sea is a huge freshwater ocean that harbors many forms of sea life, as well as many secrets. Exploration of the deeper parts of the Captive Sea is difficult because of the presence of the Great Shield, a large magical barrier about 300 feet down that prevents thinking creatures from crossing it.
Lights can be seen in the depths, and it believed that the titan and his elemental forces survive even to this day, living alongside the descendants of the titan's mortal followers.

History
The captive sea gets its name from the fact that it was created by a group of gods to imprison the water titan, Rayabou . Millennia ago, Rayabou attempted to flood the world to create their own watery realm to rule over. Fortunately, in the battle that followed the coalition of gods that fought Rayabou won and were able to imprison them and the smaller water elementals that were following them. They pushed a great chasm into the middle of Autevall, threw the elementals into it, and sealed them in with the Great Shield. Since then, the presence of the water elementals have filled the basin with fresh water simply with their presence.
