Past the southern tip of [[Mistone]], the Silent Sea is so named for its eerie lack of sound. This quietness results when warm water from the Sea of Lampit meets the cooler waters of the [[Forsaken Sea]] and produces large fog banks which swallow all noises. Their dense mass makes it difficult for sound to travel far through this area, and gives the sea its name.

	A strange legend surrounds this sea. For centuries, sailors have told a tale of a crewless ship called the Prince of Sky. A merchant encountered the sailing vessel Prince of Sky drifting in a large fog bank. The merchant's ship hailed the adrift vessel. When they got no reply a boat was lowered to see why none was forthcoming. What the boarding party found was a most curious sight: the boat was completely empty of all life. Stranger still was the manner of this emptiness'it was as if the crew had been snatched from where they stood or sat. Meals sat on the table, still warm, beds and hammocks were again still warm and unmade, steaming drinks rested on the chart table, and a quill lay next to an open journal, the final entry halted in mid word. Snatching up the journal, the spooked boarding party beat a hasty retreat back to their own ship. The quickly descending fog swiftly engulfed the Prince of Sky as they rowed back to the merchant vessel, and the other ship was never seen again. The final entry in the ship's log read:		A strange legend surrounds this sea. For centuries, sailors have told a tale of a crewless ship called the Prince of Sky.
