Dragon Sea

The Dragon Sea is the waters that surround the Drakuli Archipeligo, a massive chain of islands that stretches west from the continent of Antibor. It is not as clearly defined as the Veridian Sea, with no clear boundary between it and the Aquian Ocean. The sea is shallower than the ocean that surrounds it and has a generally tropical climate.

The region is one of the oldest to be populated by humans and is home to the only nation to have defeated the Aquian Empire in war, the Drakuli Hegemony. This region developed more or less independently from the Veridian Sea and was fairly inaccessible to outsiders up until very recently. Due to the incredibly wide cultural differences between here and the rest of eastern civilization, it has been theorized that the region was also populated heavily by some ancient western civilization of humans who no longer exist, but the true origins of humanity in the region are still totally unknown.

It is called the Dragon Sea because of the legend that each and every one of the volcanic islands is home to a dragon, and that they were born from the earth itself and will dispense the wisdom of the heavens to any they found worthy. The humans of the Dragon Sea have traditionally worshiped a pantheon of metallic dragons, a concept which is virtually unheard of elsewhere and might have its origins in the ancient naga empires of southern Antibor.
