The other is not a big thread generally, so you just need some preparation before sailing out. Go further to the Northern, it's a home of Siren and various high danger monsters like Harpee, better keep in mind. There are a few reports about big sea monsters recently. Seem like they have wandered from other regions to this place, or maybe they were living here at the beginning, unnoticeably.  

    Flora

    Icarus’s aquatic vegetation is vigorous. Coral reefs, seaweed, kelp, etc. Sprouting everywhere and formed a rich ecosystem between plants and animals on the ocean floor. This sea is the only location where you can find Blood Kelp, Anchor Coral, and endangered Seabed Tree, with many more native marine plants.
