The Western Sea

"They came from the Western Sea, sails and hulls and dresses black, under cover of night..."

— Chronicle of the Shadow Men Invasion

The Western Sea runs along the coast of Arad and is principally ruled by the Shadow Empire. The Meleatte River flows into it and there, at the point where they meet, the city of Thripia is found. The Western Sea itself is known mainly for its size, separating Arad from most other continents. Many trade routes run through it. Most if not all stop at Thripia out of necessity. It is for this reason, as well as the city's ability to produce ichor, that it is such a successful trade capital. The Western Sea is also inhabited by many massive sea creatures as well as pirate vessels.. Thus, it is a somewhat dangerous region to traverse, making Thripia's navy all the more important in protecting traders and merchant ships.

Wildlife

Many marine species live within the Western Sea. These include wide varieties of fish. Sea turtles, dolphins and rays swim in in relatively deep regions, alongside sharks. Toothed whales and giant sharks are the largest species of the Western Sea, matched only by more monstrous denizens.
