The High Seas

In the midst of the Caribbean Sea lies Isla de Oro, a pirate republic full of people of all creeds and colours. The waters surrounding this island are known as the High Seas, and they are filled with not only natural threats such as storms and rogue waves but Krakens and Sirens as well. Most of these waters are plain ocean, but a few notable locations stand out.

The Dark Gorge
A finite abyss of endless terrors where the fish do not swim, the Dark Gorge lies south of the Isla. Its depths have remained uncharted, leading to stories being told of their site being the home of merfolk, giant squids, baby Krakens and even Davy Jones. Some say they've heard of mines in the deep, of flames burning underwater, and of mysterious shadows exiting or entering the gorge, but these tales are drunken ramblings or cries for attention... most likely. Almost none can enter the depths to find out.

The Reefs
In the ocean just northwest of the island's shores, the reefs form a near-magical world on their own. A vast variety of colourful coral grows beneath the waves, providing a rich environment for the sea creatures within. An assortment of fish swims amongst the branches while small crustaceans scuttle on the ocean floor. Many trinkets have washed into the reefs over time, including old weapons, lost tools, various kinds of jewellery, and more. The reefs offer both a captivating display of natural wonder and a treasure trove for the curious.

The Skibsmordos Peaks
A few miles north of the island, countless wrecked ships mark the site of this underwater mountain range that is their killer. Many a ship seal their fate by sailing over the Skibsmordos Peaks, assuming the waters are as safe underneath as they appear on the surface. The peaks are always dotted with decomposing planks and crates, with jagged black blades of stone lurking underneath, waiting for their next victim, growing its hoard of sunken treasures and drowned sailors.
