Seas of Adnati

In addition to Adnati’s three great oceans, there are six or seven (depending how they are defined) somewhat smaller seas. One of those seas, the Galem Sea, is sometimes defined as two separate seas: the Northern Galem Sea and the Southern Galem Sea.

Galem Sea

The Galem Sea falls directly below the imaginary divider between the continents of Zhraig Wessex and Zhraig Essex. It consists of four bubbles that are sometimes defined separately, with the two northern bubbles called the Northern Galem Sea and the two southern bubbles called the Southern Galem Sea.

The southern-most bubble opens into the Denali Ocean.

Jinzi Sea

The southern-most sea separates the southern continent of Jaynään from the rest of Adnati, particularly the continent of Lenoch.

Marquez Sea

The Marquez Sea, centered at the equator at about 80 degrees longitude, is Adnati’s only completely landlocked saltwater sea, as it is surrounded within the continent of Lenoch. Some have argued that it should instead be defined as a salt lake, but scholars have nevertheless chosen to define it as an inland sea. It is approximately 2,400 miles high, north-south, and a thousand miles wide, east-west.

Siléä Sea

The Siléä Sea, whose main body is centered at 79 degrees longitude and 38 degrees latitude, is located south of the continent Zhraig Wessex and north of the continent Lenoch. It is sometimes called the “Sea of Glass” because it is relatively calmer than Adnati’s other oceans and seas. It is over 2,000 miles wide and 1,600 miles high.

Sonai Sea

Centered at approximately 33 degrees longitude and 20 degrees latitude, the Sonai Sea is bounded by Zhraig Wessex to the north and Lenoch to the south and east. The great island of Lumadair marks where the western edge of the Sonai Sea runs into the Farage Ocean. Its name comes from the Sonaide Bri, the human culture from the portions of Zhraig Wessex and northwestern Lenoch that border the Sonai Sea. The eastern portion that touches Lenoch is called the Gulf of Powys, named after the kingdom of Powys that touches the gulf.

Thalassa Sea

Located south of Sonai Sea, Thalassa Sea is centered just north of the equator at 42 degrees longitude. It is bound by the continent of Lenoch to the east and south, and by the great island of Lumadair to the west. It is approximately 1,400 miles wide and 1,450 miles high.
