Unlike most War Zones, going here won't exactly kill you automatically. This the ocean south of the Neutral Area and just about everything else. Naval battles take place in this ocean.
Both teams will go to their respective ports and then arrive here. This is how a naval battle will start.
If a battle is REALLY loud, with cannons and spells, then the serpents that sleep under this sea will wake and rise up to try to kill everybody.
But during peacetime, this is a good trade route for everybody.
