Aegis the Trackless Sea

People call it the Trackless Sea because any effort to track it is in vain as the terrain constantly shifts around unpredictably.

The Aegis, all the land which isn't affected by the phenomenon created by the Trackless Sea.

### Location

Northern Hemisphere, North of The Great Divide

**Aegis the Trackless Sea** is the name of the campaign located on the **Northern Hemisphere** of the planet named **Mikvid**.

Aegis refers to charted land, and the Trackless Sea is the surrounding waters that seem to constantly be in a state of flux, with certain land masses and ships outright vanishing.

Access to the **Southern Hemisphere** is blocked off by a massive wall known as **The Great Divide**, which was built by beings known as **World Smiths** who have long since vanished into myth and legend.

## **◭ Aegis**

**Aegis** is what the people of the Northern Hemisphere call "chartable land". These areas of the Trackless Sea are not affected by the **strange phenomena**which surround the waters known as the Trackless Sea..

Both the **Eastern** and **Western Kingdoms** reward scouts and map makers handsomely for charting out more of the Aegis, and both kingdoms frequently feud to earn this information.

## **◭ The Trackless Sea**

For some unknown reason, land outside of the Aegis is incredibly difficult or almost impossible to chart.

The phenomenon witnessed by sailors and other seafarers is that land mass gets swallowed up by thick fog, the land mass either vanishing completely to never be found again or appearing in a completely different location with no evidence as to how.

There have only been a few cases of sailors showing up after being caught in the fog, and the stories differ wildly. Cases of islands being found again only days after vanishing, but the castaways rescued saying that they had been stranded for years, and other cases of islands being found decades later with castaways saying that they only saw the fog roll in a few days or even hours prior.
