Gusu Sea

The Gusu Sea is a large saltwater sea that straddles the countries of Khutu, Omba, and Sharai. Its western branch is a basin roughly 100 km in diameter, while its eastern branch is a thin, snaking gulf around 300km in length but only around 20km wide. The two branches meet and then the sea continues north until it reaches the open ocean. The Gusu Sea has been central to the Omban Empire and its predecessor, the Omban monarchy, for over 1000 years. Major cities with harbours along the sea include Omba (in Omba), Ivos and Ukhalo (in Sharai) and Onighus (in Khutu). Probably around two million people live on or near the Gusu Sea, which is a major commercial and maritime waterway.
