Súrkniss Sea
Óraxtap: Hlahram
Znagrúkic: Tóhán
The Súrkniss Sea1 is the ocean south and southeast of the Dragonían continent, bordered by the Ilkigit Sea to the west, Sjorg Desert to the northwest; the Múlíat Mountains, Dakrúzú Peninsula, Derkniss Sea and Tærp Mountains to the north and the Erenere Archipelago to the northeast. To the south and east the sea is bordered by the impenetrable mist that separates Dragonía from the surrounding elemental worlds, specifically that of Fire.
As one approaches the world's edge, the Súrkniss Sea gradually heats up due to stronger influence of the element of Fire, and reaches boiling point near the mist.
The name originates in ihit, the most widespread language spoken by the Traks inhabiting Dakrúzú Peninsula, and means Smoking Sea, referring to the distant steam and mirage which can be seen from the southern tip of the peninsula.

Geography
Major settlements found along the coast of Súrkniss Sea include Garks and Ut, capitals of the Óraxes and the Znagrúk Empire, respectively.
Fauna & Flora
The sea-life is most plentiful near the coast, particularly in the coral reefs and shallow seas surrounding the Erenere Archipelago, while closer to the southern and eastern edge are home to distinct ecosystems, each based around specific ranges of temperature and become gradually less diverse, with extremophile bacteria being the only lifeforms found near boiling point.
