Quesset Sea

The Quesset Sea

Ocean Floor
Far deeper than any other body of water, the bottom of the Quesset Sea is ravaged with canyons, dunes and long, narrow, extremely deep cracks. It harbours little life at these depths, and that which can survive there has yet to be observed by explorers.

Water Properties
Water flows into the eastern half of the sea from the Sandblade Channel, and then flows from east to west towards the Beyest Sea. Conditions are often much more favourable in the Quesset Sea than the Beyest Sea, and the first crossing was made much earlier. Waters toward the Quesset Mesh are much warmer than those near to Cen, and so dissolves more salt and is much more saline.

Climate
Vast differences between air temperatures mean that the formation of cyclones is a relatively common occurrence. Besides this, weather is often clear and calm. The further north you travel in the Quesset Sea, the more humid and hot it becomes.

Resources
The colder waters around Cen cannot hold as much salt in solution as the warmer northern water. Therefore, salt forms as a thin crust along the shallow cliffs and rocky beaches. Some basalt carried from the Quesset Mesh also washes up on the northern beaches of Cen.

Biodiversity
To the north, dense coral reefs populate the sea bed. As the water grows cooler further south, the coral becomes increasingly sparse.

The Quesset Mesh
A cluster of islands called the Efti Isles sat in the far north of the sea causes the surrounding waters to resemble a fine mesh, and thus has been termed the Quesset Mesh. The Quesset Mesh is adjacent to Eftiel, whose lava flows drip into the Mesh, turning surface water into steam and hardening the lava into small basalt rocks which mostly sink to the ocean floor.

The Mesh is home to the Efti Tribe, a tribe of humans who make the sea their home.
