The Kells

The Kells, as they are called, are an incredibly huge, very alive, coral reef that guards Tre'Volos Harbor. The Kells inhibit travel between Tre'Volos and the nearby prison island, and stretch almost from Northport to Southport, and around to the other side of the prison island. The Kells teem with aquatic life and are very treacherous to boats. Only flat-bottomed boats can ever hope to navigate the vast portion of The Kells. Fish and other aquatic life hide and breed in the many natural places in the reef. This is similar to, but larger than, Australia's 'Great Barrier Reef'. The Kells have never been mapped. There are lighthouses at both Northport and Southport to warn people and ships of the dangers just beneath the waters of the Bay of Tre'Volos. It is rumored that there is a hidden passage between Tre'Volos and Ruach or Ard Bo, but no seafarer knows where that might be, nor do they want to try. It is possible to skirt the coast and reach Tre’Volos without endangering a ship on the Kells. Sedmon believes the word "Kells" is a corruption of the word "Corals".
