Erythraen Sea

Also called the Queen's Sea or the Sea of Sheba after the Sheban mariners who have made it their own, the Erythraen is a fairly calm sea crossed by busy Sheban trade routes. It is bordered by Gondwana and Turan, joins the Sea of Baku through the strait between Turan and Jambu, follows Jambu's coast down to Lemuria, and returns along the broken chain of Ozar's isles to the Land of Punt. Eastward it gives way to the Bay of Ishnu, which lies between Lemuria and Jambu's southern Veddan subcontinent.

Its waters teem with sea life, and small fishing boats crowd the calm coasts. Near Lemuria, though, shipping almost vanishes. That stretch has been called the Forbidden Waters since ancient times; nobody remembers why, but the name appears on the oldest maps, sailors consider the place evil, and only fools sail there. Fierce seasonal storms strike the Forbidden Waters and the southern straits among Ozar's isles, where the weather at the Fangs of Lemuria is harsh and the sea dangerous.
