Spreading across much of Kirandur's surface is the mysterious Sea of Shifting, an ethereally beautiful barrier between continents, islands, kingdoms. Most are lucky enough to not experience any of it's mysteries. But that's a risk not many are willing to live with.
The Sea of Shifting, or as some call it, the Sea of Ghosts or Sea of Memories, is a god-blessed place. It is said this is the place the sea god favors, and his spirit infuses every drop of water within it. It is because of this latent magic that the fish are so bountiful and the weather so mild, for the most part. But it's storms are strong and unpredictable. The sea gets its name by the wandering mirages and ghostly visions many sailors claim to have seen on their journeys across it. Men, women, children, animals, cities reborn atop the water for a split second then gone the next. Some become fully corporeal for a matter of moments, to shout a warning or beg for a favor, before being swept away by the salty breeze once more. Many legends spawn from these sightings. Many, in fact, are true.
 
By appearance alone, the Sea of Shifting looks utterly normal. Big, blue and beautiful, it's great waves crash into the shore with the power of [[Vasarion]] behind them. But out on it's waves, in it's legendary storms, time and space shift, pulling sailors with them. You could sail in one side of a storm just off the coast of [[Klagrond]], and sail out the other side on a strange ocean on a strange world you've never seen before.
 
To combat this, many sailors equip their ships with Gnomish devices that keep them safely locked to Kirandur's surface. Any newly commissioned ship is outfitted with one, and they are, luckily, relatively inexpensive for any fishermen who would brave the deeper waters.

The Sea Of Shifting

The Sea of Shifting, or as some call it, the Sea of Ghosts or Sea of Memories, is a god-blessed place. It is said this is the place the sea god favors, and his spirit infuses every drop of water within it. It is because of this latent magic that the fish are so bountiful and the weather so mild, for the most part. But it's storms are strong and unpredictable. The sea gets its name by the wandering mirages and ghostly visions many sailors claim to have seen on their journeys across it. Men, women, children, animals, cities reborn atop the water for a split second then gone the next. Some become fully corporeal for a matter of moments, to shout a warning or beg for a favor, before being swept away by the salty breeze once more. Many legends spawn from these sightings. Many, in fact, are true.
