Ukrat Sea

The Ukrat Sea is a massive body of water that lies between the major continents of The Northland and Ukrat, and was named by Havenic traders bound for ports in Ukrat. Unlike the much more navigable Gerrim Sea in the east, the Ukrat Sea is vast and frequently covered by storms, making crossing voyages impossible for all but the most well-equipped vessels. Additionally, whereas the Gerrim Sea is dotted with smaller islands and harbors providing refuge and resupply, there are no such islands known in the Ukrat Sea, meaning any voyage must be continuous. Perhaps the most significant hazard, however, is the presence of enormous ocean-dwelling beasts, including sea serpents rivaling the Leviathan in size and ferocity. Without major disruptions from storms, supply shortages, or monster attacks, the voyage typically takes one to two months, depending on whether the ship is bound for an eastern or western port when landing at Ukrat.

History
For the greater part of Haven's history, the Ukrat Sea (simply referred to as the Western Sea prior to the discovery of Ukrat) was considered unnavigable due to its size, storms, and sea monsters. Early attempts at crossing were made, but all who went were either forced to turn around or were never seen again. There are rumors that some of these old sailors may have actually made landfall in Ukrat, but with their ships too beaten to make the return journey they ended up assimilating with the humans of Ukrat.

Some later attempts to cross were made involving air travel with the advent of the domestication of soar whales and sky dolphins. This strategy presumed that the crossing would be made easier by such animals being able to carry travelers above the storms. Some of the Sky Dolphin excursions were successful, but many became lost and were forced to turn around; of the elite few people able to ride sky dolphins at all, only a handful of them could control the animals across such a large distance. Sky dolphins could also carry very little weight aside from their passenger, so they were not useful for trading or settling purposes.

Some of the soar whale excursions succeeded in reaching Ukrat, but several went missing during the crossing. It is speculated  either that they were taken down by soar whale pirates which had become a growing threat as the domesticated population of the beasts began to rise, or worse, that they were attacked by some unknown ocean predator able to sense their presence all the way from beneath the waves.

Present
Today, few journeys are ever made across the Ukrat Sea, aside from those of bold adventurers seeking to locate rumored lost isles or to challenge the beasts of the sea.

Instead, most seeking to reach Ukrat will instead teleport to the Havenic embassy in Crobash, a Haven-allied human state located in central Ukrat, on the coasts of the continent's large inland sea.
