=== Something Else Encounters at Sea ===


The seas are a dangerous place, full of monsters that will give you nightmares.  That's why most ships avoid the deep seas and why most trade routes hug the coastlines as much as possible.

If Something Else is encountered, it will likely be unpleasant.   To give you an example, here is what the Pathfinder wiki says about the inhabitants of the Obari Ocean, for example:

<pre>The waters of the Obari Ocean are known to be home to several sea serpents. These are seen as signs of good luck by fishermen from Jalmeray, who give them tributes of fish to attract their attention.

The deeper parts of the Obari, far from any shore, are avoided by nearly all sailors. Those who have ventured there return with stories of gigantic sea dragons, living islands, and demon storms. These stories are based in truth, as Thuransam, the great cetus, makes his home in the northern section of this ocean, and Hyntheragha, a 50-foot-long great wyrm brine dragon, rules over a colony of merfolk in the center of the ocean.</pre>
