The Cyclopean Sea

The Cyclopean Sea is the largest body of water on the surface of Traith touching most of Traith's continents.   It can be violent at time and peaceful at others.

The sea elves of......? dont leave us hanging, come back to that once the Awards ceremony has passed. You have a great start to something that can be an area of many adventures.   One possible thing to work on, depending on what you are going for, is to occasionally try to "show, dont tell" mixing some prose and quotes into your articles will make them feel a bit more organic and allow them to read less like an encyclopedia entry or a study card for a test and more like a living breathing place. Keep up the good work, i look forward to potentially seeing more articles form you in challenges to come.

Feel free to stop by some of my WorldEmber articles if you want. My favorites are The Book of the Unquiet Dead, Outpost of the Moons, and The Emerald Hills. Feedback is always appreciated.

Thank you for the reminder to be honest when I paused at that spot I told myself I needed to come back to that spot and I forgot.   Thank you for the tips and kinda words I do appreciate it. I managed to get most of my prompts done in the last three days and was really cramming to get at least bronze. Honestly I need to go back and complete and rework a lot of my work. Again thank you your kind words they are motivation.
