Eye of Abendego

The Eye of Abendego is an enormous permanent supernatural hurricane that sits just off the Far Sudland coast. It is the sole reason for the 'soddenness' of the Sodden Coast and acts as a barrier to shipping wishing to trade in Far Sudland. It also acts as a deterrent to the nations in the region sending their navies to rid The Shackles of its pirates as the 'Free Captains' know the waters and the moods of the storm so well.

Historical records and legends suggest the Eye is ancient in origin and there are many theories as to what caused it. The most popular says the it is due to the High King of Azlanti slaying that nation's patron god, Azoth. Others says this was a myth invented in Rahadoum at the time of its religious conflicts. Followers of Dagon and Rovagug both claim it was manifested by their gods as a demonstration of their might while some scholars opine it was created by the alien gods of Ghol-gan as an act of revenge on Azlanti.

The Eye is said to be 150 mile across although it is generally agreed that its size can change. It is also agreed that the centre of the storm is a fixed point.
