The Mouth of Akados

Choppy windblown waters south of the Strait of Praeis are known as the Mouth of Akados, an apt name given the shape of the islands and lands nearby. Large whales and, periodically, other creatures of the dark, deep oceans to the south come to the shallower waters here in search of food. Such beasts only rarely cause problems for ships making their way in and out of the Crescent Sea. Pirate vessels are a much more prevalent danger, particularly during summer months when milder weather brings the annual influx of merchant ships passing through the Strait of Praeis. The pirates prefer to attack in the Mouth of Akados as the location provides more avenues for escape and it is easier to sink ships unseen near the broad open ocean.
