Overview
Drawn from The Maps of Myrist — Timorous Deep, The — zone description.EQ1Primary · official
The Timorous Deep is a vast ocean of deep blue, murky waters that separates Antonica, Faydwer, and Kunark. Several isles are scattered throughout the inhabitable tropical portion of the ocean. These islands host an array of wild species as well as a diversity of civilized settlers from Antonica.
The isle where the docks for the Bloated Belly can be found, has been overrun by the ogres who built the vessel. A few stone huts, similar to those found in Oggok, are stationed near the docks to house the deck hands that tend to both the ship and the dock itself.
A small spiroc village can be found nearby. These relatively passive creatures are cousins to the aviaks of Antonica and are believed to be a branch of the tribe that dwells in the Ocean of Tears. Because they offer a formidable challenge in combat, many adventurers choose to hunt the beautiful bipedal birdmen.
Within the center of Timorous Deep, far beyond the reach of any of the other islands, is a lone, tropical hideaway. A few have found this mysterious isle and entered its beautiful, quaint lagoon interior. A small hut with a wooden bridge can be found there, with signs indicating that it is home to a powerful and xenophobic hermit.
Timorous Deep also has many places for a wide range of adventuring. Among the various creatures are the spirocs, cousins of the aviak, who can be hunted for generous bounties of gold and experience.
