There is no map yet of this area which you wish to explore. To the South, lie Marpesia and Kalim and south west Mishna. Beyond that simply the depths of the Southern Ocean, which some say reach an Unknown Land. If westward is the direction that you choose into the Ocean of Tempests then foolish you are for it is not an ocean named by chance. The Shining Islands would be your first stop if luck is a passenger aboard your vessel. Beyond and to the north west of these are the Crucible Islands. North, some say are the Springhope Isalnds, and indeed they would be aptly named, for if you have gone that far you have more than halfway traversed the Ocean to Allansia, but none now take that root.
Just be sure to pray to Hydana, forgetting not his brothers Sukh and Pangara, for the storms and winds of the ocean have claimed more victims than the Kraken.
