Thlea Ocean

The Thlea Ocean.
Southern Rethium.
Off of the coast of Opron, Yesmos, Pagrad and southern Aswary.
The Thlea Ocean is the second ocean on the planet of Aswary, and is towards the middle of the list in terms of it's size, being smaller than the Eamae Ocean and the Thhhraeae Ocean, but larger than the four remaining oceans of the planet, all of which are smaller than the first three in terms of size. 
In terms of volume of water, the Thlea Ocean is thought to extend somewhere between fifty and sixty million square miles across the planet's surface, with the Eamae and Thhhraeae Ocean(s) between seventy-five and ninety million square miles and one-hundred-million-plus respectively. And although both of these two largest oceans are unique, they are paled in comparison to the Thlea Ocean.
The Thlea Ocean is known to be the home of the Sharkfolk race, a race who are trademarked by their long bodies and the shark-like fins that extend from their back and tails. They are a water-dwelling species and are thought to be related to the Water Faerie race who thrive both on land and in the water, though they prefer the latter over the former by a vast majority. The reason behind the Sharkfolk living in the Thlea Ocean is thought to be due to their close connections to the Jackalfolk of Yesmos as well as the other races who built their towns and cities along the coast and were eager to incorporate the Sharkfolk into their daily lives, accepting trade with them for many unique materials and treasures that could be found or even grown underwater in the depths where the Sharkfolk make their homes.
The Thlea Ocean is also regarded as one of the most clean oceans in the world, and is treasured by the Sharkfolk and even protected from extreme fishing and waste disposal amongst other conservation efforts for these reasons. But the Sharkfolk are not the only thing to call this ocean home. They share it with the Ironshell Turtle, the Emerald Sea Turtle (also known as the Kelp or Garden Turtle) and the Migrator Turtle, whom are Carnivorous, Herbivorous and Carnivorous species' respectively. The Migrator Turtle feeds on a smaller species of underwater creature called the Coin Snail, which is known for it's small, round shell which appears golden in color. While the turtle will eat the entire snail, they unfortunately are also known for eating only the shell and leaving the body behind, as the inner organs of the snail can be found inside this small golden-colored shell. 
The Sharkfolk's capital city in the Thlea Ocean is a city called Marina, which can be found by swimming into a large cave-like opening that is nestled under a large cluster of boulders just southeast of the city of Setka, and is approximately five to ten miles out to sea making it hard to reach by boat from the surface. One other city that is well known both to other races and the Sharkfolk is Tenea, which is the city where the gateway into the Lethaehrhreaeeln "Water Realm" can be found, tucked away inside an ancient cavern system guarded by Sharkfolk who operate through a daily 'changing of the guard' system that keeps the wandering public away from the gate unless they have express permission from a guild or other authority to cross in and out of the realm.
There are not any other well-known formations in the Thlea Ocean, save for a strange line of stones that travel out to the ocean, extending for almost three miles along a winding but seemingly mapped pathway. This road has been named 'The Planeran Highway', after the ancient continent found in the vast Water Realm. Some believed that a second gateway into the realm once existed at the end of this road, but many geological and historical studies found no mention or existence of such a gateway in any known periods of time before or after Rethium.
