The Dark Sea is the ocean south of Argonnessen and between that continent and Xen'drik . [1] [2] [3]
It is largely unexplored by the inhabitants of wider Eberron , and its name refers as much or more to how little-known it is as how little light it receives in winter. Its limits and its hazards are barely understood, but dragon turtles and icebergs are known to be equally as dangerous. Sailors who'd ventured into the Dark Sea report some regions experience extreme tides that cause powerful currents near the shores, and that these can drive ships onto reefs or rocks close to land. [4]
The sailors' saying "Gone down to the Dark" for ships lost and sunk at sea began in reference to the Dark Sea, but came to refer to the unlighted deep of any of Eberron's seas. [4]
