Keep it on the map, or follow Hepmonaland's outline in the less defined illustrations which detail more of Oerth's geography? What elements would you place in an aquatic GH campaign set in the Oljatt Sea?

However, I think 20 leagues would probably be off the map for the "Darlene map" so you would have to use one of the less defined (ie "hexless") maps unless you want it closer than 20 leagues. As far as what elements to place, take your pick. Even though it is a tropical ocean, you can place any monster you want and just say it is a subspecies/ tropical ocean variety. If you want something specific, how about the following: An undersea sahuagin lair. A merfolk encampment A kraken A tropical island with a haunted pirate castle The ruins of a sunken human city destroyed by a regional water god/goddess An undersea anomoly containing a vast bubble of airy water that supports surface life- make it like a "lost world" kind of thing long hidden under the waves.
