Pitëlë'flu, the Warding Water: Wardmere, the enclosed sea of the western mainland, ringed by coasts the way a keep is ringed by walls, which is what the name has always meant. It is the tamest great water Place The Great Water The great eastern ocean of Elshore, the open water reaching east toward the world's far side. in the west, nursery to fleets and fisheries alike, and the old world seems to have used it the same way: its floor, divers say, is furnitured with sunken quays.
