Adventures in Arcadayn
The Great Sea

By Tim Emrick

The Great Sea fills the central part of the basin formed by the mountains surrounding Arcadayn, and connects to the Ocean of Darkness to the west. It measures about 500 miles along its east-west axis and about 200 miles north-south.

Many islands can be found scattered across this sea, the largest of which is Cauldron Isle, located at its very center. This island is home to the Cauldron, a large volcano deemed sacred by elemental cults.

See the following pages for the lands surrounding the Great Sea:

• To the south: The Krithian Empire.

• To the east: The Kingdom of Visala. Visala controls parts of three major islands in the Great Sea: Haria (site of the capital, Kelm Har); Ligabeth; and the eastern coast of Cauldron Isle.

• To the north and northeast (in order going west from Visala): The Blackwood; the Bogmoors; the Thunderhead Peaks.

• To the northwest: The kingdom of Haldinibar, located upon a peninsula that closes much of the gap between the Great Sea and outer ocean. Two groups of islands are found near Haldinibar: the Storm Isles (along the southern coast and in the gap between seas) and the Fey Isles (extending northwest into the Ocean of Darkness).

• To the southwest: "Corsairia" (The Pirate Coast).

The navies of Krith, Visala, and Haldinibar dominate their respective coastal waters. The western Great Sea is plagued by pirates. The pirate crews are formed of outcasts from all parts of Arcadayn.
