Looking at the map, this long and narrow sea region spanned hundreds of kilometers. In terms of marine geography, it directly separated the eastern coast of the Northern Continent, where the Maple Principality and the Elven Empire were located, from the northwestern coast, where Lienhardt, the Bass Kingdom, and four other countries were situated.

Commercial ships traveling east-west in the northern part of the Western Central Ocean had to head southeast or southwest first, bypass the southernmost tip of the Death Sea Region, and then continue their normal routes. This created a highly prosperous trade route south of the Death Sea Region, often referred to as the lifeline of trade.
