Grwn Sea

The Grwn Sea (pronounced "Groon") is a vast ocean south of the Dudlingia Principality. The Agripidian Grand Duchy touches on the Grwn Sea to the southeast and the northern tip of the Coviorian Republic to the southwest. The Grwn Sea is wild and dangerous, filled with tempests and powerful storms. The surrounding lands are often battered by gales, hurricanes, and tsunamis.
The Grwn Sea is deep enough that it contains gargantuan octopuses and colossal krakens. That, along with the weather, effectively stops almost all Ocean Travel. The one exception is the route between Nergentiapu and Haverenil run by Naga at exorbitant prices.
Given northern Agripidia's proximity eastern Dudlingia, one might expect a trade route between those two locations. However, that would take ships dangerously close to the Sunken Ruins of Tinuviel. Not even the Naga sail there, and if asked, will whisper of dark evil sea monsters, twisted by the vile magic that sank Tinuviel.

The Southern Grwn Sea

The Southern Grwn Sea is bounded by the Ilisuaqian Empire to the south, and a string of islands to the north, some Ilisuaqian, some Dudlingian. It is shallower than its larger counterpart, and thus safer in terms of sea monsters. Because it thus navigable, some will refer to the Southern Grwn Sea simply as The Grwn Sea. This is an incorrect conflation, according to Hephzibah Tarik.
Its weather, however, is just as terrible.
