Sea's Teeth

The Sea's Teeth is an expanse located in the Sea Queen's Rest in Eolda. It covers many miles of the sea and it is dotted by myriad giant spiky rocks and reefs that make it fatal for ships to cross. For that reason, ships that want to cross that part of the ocean go the long way around, making the trip far longer and stocking double the resources. Over the ages, shipwrights of cities and towns near the Teeth constructed their ships and altered the designs to accomodate the needs a ship requires in order to make the trip around the Teeth. Of course, that is after they repeatedly tried to make their ships in a way to withstand the Teeth; an endeavor that ended in failure an many watery graves.

The rocks and reefs are not the only dangers there though, as the sea is very unstable and huge waves going around and above the rocks can turn over a whole shio and slam it into the rocky spikes and reefs. Another danger of the Sea's Teeth is the rumored Sea Serpents, draconic creatures that have made the Teeth their homes. Some sailors claim that they have sen said serpents while sailing around the Sea's Teeth, and there are even some reports that sea serpents have attacked vessels sailing near the Teeth. For that care is being taken for the ships to sail at least half a mile away from the rocks.

Stories also say that in clear and cloudless nights, ghost ships and undead sailors have been sighted, their ships merge and pass through the rocks; hunting the living that dare come close the Teeth. These stories and alleged sightings align with the legend of Griph, the Pirate King of Old who found his end there along with his armada.

Lastly, sailors say that this expanse is the true resting place of the sea goddess Calaseid, and that the deadly reefs, crazy weather and sea serpents are an extend of her will to keep mortals away from her domain. For this, as a sign of respect to the goddess, many sailors have the custom to rip away a button from their shirt or a part of fabric and throw it in the sea every time they pass around the Teeth in order for the Calaseid to recognise them and accept their tokens in order to grant them safe passage.
