Bastards Sea
The Bastards Sea is so called for its infamy as a refuge of pirates in ancient times. It rests towards west of the Strait of Embol between southwestern Pytharnia and Ambrinqua. Seacraft from the eastern Pallathantic Sea and from the Memnosian Sea must pass through these waters to access the western Pallathantic Sea, the Pytharnian Sea, and the greater Askonian Ocean. In the ancient past, the waters were not patrolled by any powerful state and so became prone to piracy. The seabed greatly descends in the northern portion of the Bastards Sea which is the beginning of the deeper Pallathantic Sea. Magdeologers believe this greater depth contributes the strong currents and more torrential storms to which the western Pallathantic Sea are prone. The Bastards Sea is free of islands except at its periphery where it approaches Pytharnia or northern Ambrinqua.
