Memnosian Sea
The Memnosian Sea rims the warm lands of northeastern Danona, northwestern Weshif, and southern Corundy. The Memnosian Sea teems with merchant vessels both on its surface and overhead in the air. Active trade routes join Asdauria to Danona. The Sultanate of Beph-Themesh and the Narsadese Republic are two great merchant nations in the Memnosian Sea. The waters of the sea are gentler than the Pallathantic and warmer. At times, storms from the north or dust storms from the desert can stir up the waters to the destruction of unwary sailors. The Memnosian Sea connects to the Pallathantic Sea via the Strait of Embol in the north and to the Sea of Malankhas to the south via the long Strait of Ummak to the south. For this reason, it is a critical navigable body in the west. Despite the dismantling of the Gorcorumbese Empire, the colossal naval vessels of Gorcorumb can often be seen plying the waters about the coast of Ambrinqua, especially in the Sea of Narshad.
Antediluvian History
About 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 causes 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.
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.
