Black Sea

The Black Sea is located in the center of Valynduur, surrounding Black Sea Isle and bordered by the Az-varr Sea and Okarthaczil to the south, Xicilia to the west, the Minotaur Isles to the North, and the Sea of Infinite Depth to the east.

It is murky and and ebony in color, leading many superstitious captains to completely circumvent its entirety. Rumors of compasses spinning incessantly, ghost ship sightings, and constant threat of pirates echo throughout all the ports in Valynduur. The  Fleet of the Black Hearts  and many pirates in general use the desolate Black Sea to escape navies in pursuit for this exact reason.

Many navigators and cartographers have speculated that the Black Sea's arcane anomaly is slowly spreading to the other waters of Valynduur, however this has not been confirmed. This is due in part to  The Long Night, as the Sea was originally as emerald as the  Az-varr Sea  before the  Shadow Plane  was woven into  Valynduur 's existence.

Fiendish aboleths, krakens, and ixitxachitl roam far below the foul sea, warring incessantly with each other.
