The Sea of Cudlac is a disputed body of water. While many consider it an extension of the Virnor Ocean, the populations of both Cudlac and Balest consider it an independent body of water. While this does not cause any major disputes or conflicts, it is often an argued position in drinking establishments around Eterinin.
The claim of an independent body of water is not without merit, the Sea of Cudlac has unique and independent currents that do not flow out into the greater Virnor Ocean and the waters of the sea are much warmer than that of the Virnor.
