Babu Strait

Babu Strait is a stretch of coastline in the southern region of the Eriand Coast depicted on the map on the wall of the Blue Octopus Inn. Sailors have taken the name and given it to a particular strait in that same region where the waves and wind buffet ships towards towering rocks sticking out of the sea. Sailors say the Babu Strait is the most dangerous sailing on the Eriand Coast. Navigable routes through the strait have been mapped but captains still anchor before entering and wait until weather is ideal. Some have tried to go around entirely. Many shipwrecks are said to litter the seafloor below.

Sailors speak of a massive demon whale that lurks in the strait. Crews will make offerings of goats, sheep or other animals when they are entering the strait in the hope of appeasing or distracting.
