Lothranis Sea

The Lothranis Sea (Meaning the Sea of Light) is a subtropical to tropical body of water in southwestern Syltör. Named after the Twin Dragon goddess of light, the sea is surrounded and owned almost entirely by the Aurlûnor Velande. The Bay of Heaven is a subdivision of the sea at its northernmost extent; the cities of Lhûmar and Helemar rest on its shores.

Due to improper mapping and cartography in this region of Syltör, the Sea is thought to be an inland lake by many. But according to Aurlûnoren maps and Viridi explorers, the sea apparently connects the Great Southern Ocean together with the two seas. To the west of this, lies the Endless Sea.

The sea has a large and rich biotic assemblage thanks to its warm climate. Specific biodiversity hotspots include the Helemar Barrier Reef, a coral reef with some of the highest biodiversity in the entire Syltör region. The beaches on its southwestern coast also host the largest nesting colony of Western Hawk Turtles in the world.

The sea has also given its name to the Lothranic period on the Geologic Time Scale thanks to abundant rock deposits of that age along its shores.
