The Ocean of Tempests is the vast ocean dividing Allansia from Khul.[1] The Ocean stretches roughly from the Isle of Despair to the Shining Islands, and from the Crucible Islands to the Isles of Refuge.[2] It is described as "all but impassable" due to its stormy weather and ferocious sea creatures, with many having died trying, and it is said that few sailors would dare try and cross this ocean.[2][3]

Tempests[]

The storms that give the ocean its name have been called "tempest children of Pangara" (the god of winds) and they are said to rule the ocean.[3] The largest of these is the tempest Zephyrus, and deep within it lies an area where the air is calm and still. This is the location of the floating archipelago of Pangaria.[3] Here, drifting slowly on the air, are the six islands of Pangaria: Cirrus, Altos, Cumulus, Incus, Asperitas and Nimbus.[3] Even outside the tempests the seas are still rough, to the extent that even the Pangarians avoid using boats beyond their calm seas, instead only travelling underwater by bathysphere when going into or beyond Zephyrus.[4]

Sea Creatures[]

Stories abound of the Ocean of Tempests being inhabited by terrifying hostile creatures.[3] The extremely dangerous storms mean that only hardy creatures can survive here, leading to large and ferocious creatures inhabiting it.[4] These include:
