Ebontide

The Ebontide is a large body of water on the southern coast of Sadursa Minor. The great city of Idra Leone sits on the Ebonpool, which rushes into the bay. The Ebontide is an inlet of the Aheint Sea, held between the arms of the Sumerfords to the east and Balhalas to the west. The Krakenrock lies to the south of the mouth of the bay. Elements of Idran patrol the Bay and ensure it is kept free from piracy and raiders from the Sharku.

Storm's Wake
The Balahalan fleet has blocked the Sumerfords, where Sir Raul Serro and Sir Tyne Morrow are beseiged with no hope for relief.

Rising Dawn
The Sharku fleet assault the Ebontide supported by the Azimur and besiege Balhalas. All nobles are put to the sword save Cristenn Balenmore. The Sharku eventually occupy the Seahalls. With no support and risking condemnation by his brother Halemar Udin, Stalaheid Udin gathers forces and sets out to reclaim the Seahalls. Stalaheid and his force successfully liberate the Seahalls and earn the loyalty of the Longfin Clan. Following Stalaheid's actions, the ruling House Balenmore sustained only by Lord Cristen, swears fealty to him.

Lost Tides
Stalaheid orders the united Balenmore, Sumerford, and Sharku fleets up the Ebontide to beseige Idra Leone now working with Zerick Thanon. The fleet is led by Sir Volhin Blackwater. However, ultimately diverging for the primary goal, the fleet burns the Redwater as they go, most significant is the burning of Irontown. The Sharku raiders proved vital in destroying rival fleets and burning the cities. As a result, the Sharku and Azimur fleets are able to descend upon the Ebonpool and from both sea and land, overwhelm the Idran and surround the city. Volhin is forced to land his men 20 miles away and ultimately loses his forces and is effectively "broken on the Ebontide."

Breaking Skies
Volhin is ridiculed for being "broken on the Ebontide," due to his razing of the Redwater instead of occupying the Ebonpool, a manuvere attributed to losing the Battle of Idra Leone.

The Ebontide as part of the seas of the earth ceases moving due to Diatzo the Gensage's death.

It is occupied and controlled by the Azimur, ferrying soldiers from Carathdur and Acamarsun.
