“Are you ‘red-y’ for a scarlet serenade? Join me in a crimson crescendo, a vermillion voyage, a ravenous ruby rhapsody in the red! Get in!”
– Elize Crane, mistress of the Elizeium Baths
Red Water – What is it?
Why does the water glow red? This is the first part in a series of posts that will dive into the ancient histories, latest elven science, and strange legends surrounding the Crimson Sea. We begin by setting the stage: What is the Crimson Sea to the elves that live on its coast?
The Crimson Sea
From the Wall of the World to the Red Coast, the Crimson Sea makes up nearly a third of the entire cave and lights up the region with its soft red glow. It’s the defining feature of not only the landscape but also the cultures that live on its shore.
The sea nurtures unusually large fish and whales, which in turn sustains the many elves that have settled its shore. On the safe western shore it might seem the sea is a bringer of life, but the further you travel the more dangers you encounter. Strange sea creatures, from the odd to the monstrous, are an ever-present threat to the sailors of the sea. Not to mention rival traders, huge storms, and the notorious pirates.
Elves and Red Water
Trade and the hunt for whales, with their precious oil, have ushered the elves into a new age of prosperity. Now, some of the largest cities in the entire cave are located on the coast of the glowing sea, Bloodworth being the largest of them all.
But the elves have an even more direct connection to the sea through their bathing lifestyle. Freshwater from the mountain springs is all fine and good, but a dip in the red waters of the sea is something special. The salty water makes you float with ease, and brings a number of health benefits, as listed on this poster. Though, bathe responsibly, too much time in the red water might make you a bit loopy.
This poster is an original advertisement from when the Elizeium baths and the great lift that scoops sea water all the way up the cliff to the center of the city were first built. No longer do you need to take the trip down to the sea. Enjoy the red waters in the comfort of the bathhouse.
