The Inner Sea basin
One area of the seas, similar in style to the Med forms a semi enclosed basin. Recent earthquake and volcanic (Divine?) activity caused a change in the ocean currents supplying the basin with water, in effect causing the sea level to (very) slowly begin to lower as the water evaporates away. The channels into this basin now have more swiftly flowing currents (eventually to be waterfalls) but one of the Lokarnos City ships if effectively now trapped and unable to leave a (slowly) dwindling inner sea. If nothing can be done, this will eventually be left stranded within a barren salt lake. Although slight, the changes in salinicity are already beginning to drive creatures of the depths into more shallow waters, and who know, what ancient ruins will slowly become nearer and nearer the surface. Imagine if the Med started to evaporate in our world.
