Pax Oceanus
Visitors to Sarcrist must first stop at Pax Oceanus, a giant floating fortress outside of the fog line, guarding the entrance to the reef-maze that protects the island, and held in place by epic magics. It serves as a customs point, with ships coming in subject to inspection and their business scrutinized by an inspector. If the inspector deems it safe for the ship to approach Sarcrist itself, it is assigned a lanternship which guides it through the reefs and past the natural breakwater into the harbor that allows access to the island itself. The fortress considered a marvel in its own right, in both engineering and magic, and its elaborate magical lighting system and the lights of the lanternships themselves are an awe-inspiring sight at night.
