The Abysmal Sea

The ship that found Taelosia

The Wayfarers Brotherhood crossed the stormy Abysmal Sea in the Queen of Thorns, following the visions of the mage Calliav, and found a continent ringed by storms. You can read that story in the Wayfarers’ voyage to Taelosia. The ship stayed at anchor and became the gateway to the land of Discord.

Its decks hold the people you will keep coming back to: Fezbin Fizzles, who sends new arrivals on, Taminoa Bialu, who compiles the scouts’ reports on the city, and Alexsa Whyte and Gizzmu the Wise among many others.

What the scouts found

Taminoa Bialu explains that the natives once lived in a grand city split into four districts with names in their own language: Qinimi, Riwwi, Barindu and Ferubi. Going by what the scouts saw, Qinimi was the court, Riwwi held games, Barindu was a lush garden and Ferubi a central place of worship. She is still working on the language, so these are her best guesses.

Getting aboard

You reach the ship from Nedaria’s Landing, the Wayfarers’ forest camp that links Antonica to Taelosia. Our map draws the ship off Taelosia’s south-west coast, with a route out to Nedaria’s Landing and a short crossing to Natimbi. The zone-line files mark both links.

A working base

Many vendors, quests and tradeskills run through this zone. Its zone records rate it for every level, from 1 to 75, because it is a ship full of merchants rather than a hunting ground. Gates of Discord’s progression starts here and keeps returning here.
