The Shattered Sea

A large body of water at the center of the Shattered Lands, with a wide opening to the Oriens Ocean to the east.
The murky waters are pitch black in color, devoid of any light and seemingly of life as well.
If one were to stare long enough into these waters, they would see the horrible, unearthly faces of the tormented souls forever trapped in the icy depths. Ghastly, but hypnotizing, they call out to the living, driving them slowly insane and compelling them to join them in the dark depths.
