The Old Dead Sea

Once a great ocean. Some say it dried up the day Okeanos was killed by the God Slayer. The ancient bones of colossal sea creatures dot the windblown landscape. Small islands of vegetation also dot the landscape these small oases sometimes have fresh water and fruit trees but be wary other things are attracted to them. Giant ghosts of sea leviathan swim the skies at night sometimes touching the word of the living. Strange noises can be heard and the sun sets on the Old Dead sea. There are very few safe ways to travel in the Old Dead Sea. There a few roads that are maintained but they offer smoother travel not safer.
The Council of Armagoss maintains the majority of the peace with the Old Dead Sea stopping all major threats to the basin. They protect travelers from the sudden storms, strange anomalies and all manner of strange beasts
