From the myth of me and my seven friends crossing the sea comes the the setting of the sea itself. In Chinese mythology the sea is described as a turbulent and expansive mass of water. In the eastern area of the sea rules Ao Guang, one of the four dragon kings, and he commands an army of shellfish from his seafloor palace. The sea smells salty and feels wet and humid. Its taste is salty and filled of minerals, so if you're into that sort of thing, drink up.
