There is no map yet of this area which you wish to explore. To the South, simply the depths of the Southern Ocean, which some say reach an Unknown Land. If you venture East and refuse to stray north, then you will stray into the southern Black Ocean, and if luck is with you sight the shores of Tura in the Isles of the Dawn. If westward is the direction that you choose, or which the gods decide is your fate, then there is still known land to chance upon. For that way and southwards lie Marpesia and Kalim and further still Mishna. Or west and north might, with good fortune, bring you to the Shining Islands. Further than that, well, the Oceans of Titan are vast. 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.
