Strait of Haifa
The Strait of Haifa is the narrow, elongated sea which separates central and easter Keltia. The sea is situated between longitudes 100E and 120E, and latitudes 20N and 70N.
Today the Strait of Haifa is dominated by commerce between the states which constitute the Maritime Markets of the Strait of Haifa. With that said, piracy is extremely common in the region, especially in regions which lie to the south of Lake Morovia.
Countries which claim territory bordering the Sea of Storms are: the Maritime Markets, the Commonwealth of Hamland, and the Republic of Pontus.
Southern Strait of Haifa
The Southern Strait of Haifa lies to the south of Lake Morovia, and connects Lake Morovia to the Corprian Ocean. In terms of climate, the Southern Strait of Haifa is hot and semi-arid or arid. To that extent, the region's southernmost reaches lie within the bitterly hot Eastern Mykonos, and the rocky Thalassapolis deserts. In addition to its harsh, unforgiving climate, the Southern Strait of Haifa is home to a large number of very powerful pirate communities which operate out of the Port of Blore Heath. Most notable of these communities is the Bacchian Vine Fleet, a band of pirates who sail upon ships made from living vines, who worship the god of wine and ritual madness.
