Interactive sea chart coming soonSea areas, Haywire timers and resource pins will go here. No game map art is used.
The five sea areas
You start in Fragrant Cape, the one sea without Haywire weather. The other four each have their own Haywire weather, a counter item and a resource you can only gather there. Sea names link to their own page once it is written; the Isles of Abyss hub has dates and every guide.
| sea area | Haywire weather | counter | signature resource |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fragrant Cape | no Haywire weather | — | Basic supplies |
| Reefshadow Bay | Mist of Deceit | Blaze Core Lantern | Mist of Deceit Wicks |
| Spring Valley | Time Rain | Time-Reverse Raincoat | Bottled Raindrops |
| Misty Marsh | Black Tide | Black Tide Protective Mask | Black Tide Clots |
| Falling Ember | Skyfire | None. Tough hull, keep moving | Skyfire Gold |
Haywire zones change with the scenario phase. Official sources say “a starting area and four Haywire Zones”; “five sea areas” is our shorthand.
