The Leaping Sea lies south of Glaye and is an important sea route.

The Leaping Sea hugs the southern coasts of Glaye and touches the northwest coast of the island of Nymentho. It is considered part of the Mathareusan Sea and, in turn, the Askonian Ocean.

The Leaping Sea is so called for its peculiar phenomena of small jets of water that burst from the surface. These jets are not sufficiently strong enough to disturb even the smallest of watercraft, but give the body of water its unusual appearance. The activity of the water is still not completely understood by magdeologers and is probably due to the effects of environmental magic. The phenomena of leaping occurs intermittently throughout the late spring, summer, and sometimes in the autumn. It is virtually unattested in the winter.

Sea craft from southwestern Barathorn and southern Glaye commonly pass through the Leaping Sea en route to ports in the Pallathantic Sea or to Elmundel. Nearly one out of every two vessels found in the Leaping Sea is of Glaikish origin. Enoultseyrand and Ophia are the largest port cities in the Leaping Sea.
