Sea of Memnosia
The antediluvian Sea of Memnosia is the asdarological name for the Memnosian Sea which is the modern successor. It was a great inland sea fed by several rivers and separated from the Pallathantic Sea. The Strait of Ummak did not exist and the Sea of Memnosia was endorheic. The shores of the sea were the countries that formed part of the greater Drameggin Civilization.
Over 12,000 AS or nearly 15,000 years ago, the Ancient Sea of Memnosia was self-enclosed as earth changes associated with the Flood of Aturyahda had not yet caused it to overflow its northern bounds and connect with the Pallathantic Sea. These changes which caused sea level to rise worldwide reduced the size of what later became the islands of Narshad and Barse-Barra. Kalaman legend tells that the shores of the Ancient Sea of Memnosia were the homeland of the Jathya-Dhumi people who were part of the Drameggin Civilization. The Flood of Aturyanda and associated cataclysms caused the barely inland see to communicate freely with the Pallathantic Sea and the Strait of Ummak.
Submerged Cities
Legends report that the Great Flood swallowed many mythical cities off the former coast of the once smaller Memnosian Sea. Only merfolk and powerful wizards in times past had any chance of visiting these inhospitable places. Today there are rumors that rich adventurers wish to use titancraft submarines to explore these lost places that have not seen light for over seven thousand years.
