The Western Sea is the huge body of water that borders Zalar. Long ago, Oridon crossed it from the west to Zalar with his followers. Several attempts have been made by Zalarians to cross it, however all have failed. The most recent expedition led by Lord Admiral Ferrer of Illoria sailed into bad weather and was largely destroyed. The Lord Admiral survived and was forced to turn back. The cost of the expedition bankrupted the Illorian government.
