The Vhan Myr; which means "Eastern Sea" in the elven tongue, is one of the four oceans on Oris. Sailors and seafarers call it either the "Whispering Sea," or the "Sunset Sea."
Elves may have sailed the Wyn Myr and discovered its secrets, but the Vhan Myr is an ocean conquered solely by the race of men. Those men sailed fleets of ships crewed by the Daroon, the Eloysians, and the Hakeen.
The Vhan Myr is slightly smaller than the Wyn Myr, but is still a gigantic ocean, far larger than any continent. The Vhan Myr has twice as many island chains as her western counterpart, and much warmer temperatures year long. The eastern sea has a tropical climate, and the islands found on this ocean are filled with palm trees, fruit groves, and swampy atolls.
The waters of the Vhan Myr are normally a bright azure blue, except when one of her frequent storms arises, then the eastern sea can be truly terrifying to behold. The Vhan Myr stretches from the eastern coasts of Azoria and Corwyn to the western coasts of three other continents of Oris; Za'har, Eryn Norvë, and Ikharos.
Unlike the Wyn Myr, which was commonly explored by elvish sailors from Eryn Norvë; the Vhan Myr is an ocean mastered by the races of men. The Eloysians frequently explored this gigantic ocean and founded many settlements on various island chains. Their explorers also discovered the largely unexplored continent of Za'har. It is often said today that the Vhan Myr is still the "lake of the men with copper skin."
There are six great island civilizations located in the Vhan Myr; Al’Kethai, Ilsenene, Malvatis, Rhaygos, Styr, and Yamada. Additionally, there are hundreds of small, secluded island settlements.
