Sea of Judgments
The Sea of Judgments is a sand sea resting north of the Sheleph Din Mountains which separate it from Oliblish farther south. It is part of the Zanqir Wastes. Named for the Judgments of God or nature, the sea is place of herders from the mountains, desperate hermits, and exiles. It is the last part of the Danonan Deserts or Great Jawachi Wastes which pilgrims traverse before they reach Oliblish and the House of the Incarnandina, the most common pilgrimage site in Oliblish.
It is mostly barren and should only be crossed by well-prepared and well-defended adventures and military units. Even well-prepared travelers with sufficient water and stores may become victims of bandits or corrupt Jykki soldiers. Even its proximity to Oliblish is no guarantee that Jykki bandits will honor the safety of pilgrims and Oliblishi. It is recommended that travelers avoid the area or obtain an escort from the ruler of Jhaadi Zhumzhur to ensure the security of person and property.
The human and half-Jykki herders of the area occasionally deal with bandits and for this reason bandits are less likely to prey upon travelers, fearing that they may be part of the local community whose wrath they may invoke. The small Village of the One-Eyed Soothsayer is known for colorful folklore and its two taverns. The settlement of Dilláth in the foothills is a common entry point for travelers making passage over the mountains into Oliblish.
