Blue Reef: A small area of ocean bordering the Outside of The Abyss. Most weaker sea creatures treat this area as their home, despite it being right next to the Feared Area, also known as the Outside of The Abyss.

It's guarded fiercely by the most powerful creature of the sea and their disciples. Anyone hunting more than they need to survive is culled by the Blue Reef's veteran protectors.

Other than that, the territory is free of any laws. You have a right to kill anyone or anything as long as you eat the body afterwards.

Outside The Abyss: This is the most feared area of the seven territories and the fish have taken to calling it the Feared Area. It's home to abyssal creatures that have adapted to its pitch black waters.

It was dubbed the Outside of The Abyss because it borders the oceanic dead zone called The Abyss. Nothing lives in the abyss and nothing ever will.

As for the creatures of the Outside of The Abyss, they're giant compared to most other beasts of The Stygian Strait. They're only battled by the foolhardy and the extremely brave.

The Blood Layer: A layer of ocean above the four main ocean regions besides the Outside of The Abyss and The Beating Deep. Legends claim it was created by the blood of the creatures who tried to swim up to land.

It's eerily empty and any expeditions further than one quarter of the way through have ended in failure. Creatures just vanish, it can't even be said if they were eaten or not because of the red water permeating the layer and the lack of any body.

It's forbidden to swim up into the blood red territory by anyone other than the Blue Reef Lord themself.

Decayed Sea: This an area of sparse vegetation and hardy treasure hunters. Broken land is about all you'll ever see, giant chasms covering most of the sea floor.

Expeditions into these chasms have discovered ecosystems completely unique to that single area. At the end of these ecosystems are relics of extraordinary power.

Once the relic has been removed, the said chasm will collapse in on itself and days later another will take its place.

Unseen Waters: An area void of laws and supervision of any type. Creatures here are engaged in constant battle and usually never survive the week.

Eating other creatures makes oneself stronger, thus, this is the only place for those ambitious enough to fight tooth and claw for power. No one has ever managed to rule this area because they're eaten before being able to start a long lasting dynasty.

There are, however, ten great lords of this territory. They take good care to stay in friendly relations with one another for fear that fighting would spark rebellious thoughts within their subjects and bring ruin throughout.

The Beating Deep: This is the heart of the Outside of The Abyss, the place where warriors go to advance to the Awakening stage. Much is unknown about it besides a few vague descriptions from those who've taken the journey.

These powerful sea creatures are called the Awakened, their power is greater than all others. When asked about the area, they almost never answer.

Only on four accounts over the last century did an Awakened one say anything describing the place. Together, they said only four different words, red, abyss, beating, and deep.

Outcast Shelves: The area wrapping around the Blue Reef, the Decayed Sea, and the Unseen Waters. It's the closest place to a kingdom in these desolate waters.

Only for the rich and powerful, the kingdom provides a safe haven for those who can afford it. Enforced by queen Yvette and her royal guard, they capitalize over the territories.

No one dares to oppose queen Yvette, who claimed the throne by killing and eating her entire family in a brutal succession battle. She rules over the Outcast Shelves with an iron fist, and a silver tongue.
