Shrinking Sea
el mar Menguante
The Shrinking Sea is an inland sea of Essos, set between the Jogos Nhai plains, the Great Sand Sea, the Bleeding Sea and the lands of Yi Ti.
The name is no accident: it was once a far larger body of water, and centuries have worn it down until little remains but a handful of scattered lakes.
Chapter 1
A sea drying up
Books only
The Shrinking Sea sits at the center of Essos: the Jogos Nhai plains open to its north, the lands of Yi Ti to its south, the Great Sand Sea to its west and the Bleeding Sea to its east. Tiqui stands on its southwestern shore.
It was not always this size. It was once a far larger inland sea, and the passing centuries have slowly evaporated it, leaving little of that original body of water but a scattering of separate lakes.
