Amaranthine Sea
Vast seas of legend
The Amaranthine Sea is the ocean that makes up much of the known south oceans of Arda, and can be accessed by all three continents. It borders Cathay, Dunlain, the Enlightened Kingdom and Mujmal.
Tidal pools off the Amaranthine Sea
Little is known about the Amaranthine Sea. There are few charted courses that run through it, and no lands have been proven to exist beyond its waters. Yet, there are no end of fantastic tales of places said to exist in the land beyond the sea that are swapped nightly by drunken sailors. Vast cities of coral populated by men with gills, islands of bird-folk, leviathans the size of mountains that lie just underneath the surface, the very edge of the world, and much more. According to legend, those who leave sight of land will get lost forever, unable to return home.
Regardless of the tales, the Amaranthine Sea is known to be very fickle. Storms and fog appear across its waters in minutes, even on cloudless days. As a result, the ocean is rarely safe to travel, and most sensible sailors will travel close to the shoreline if they must travel, allowing them to find safe harbor should sudden squalls occur. While it is unclear what exactly lies beyond, no expedition that has gone into the Amaranthine Sea returns to tell the tale.
