Encounters in the Varisian Gulf?

I'm trying to find out what sort of encounters an adventuring party would run into out in the Varisian Gulf, or failing that I'll settle for ocean encounters.

There's pirate ships from Riddleport for one thing. The whole area is above the now sunken and underwater realm of Runelord Alaznist, so there's lots of sunken city mayhem down there too. A not inconsiderate alghollthu presence, so aboleths and ulat-kini wouldn't be unexpected. Lacedons (aquatic ghouls) near the coastlines, or maybe even some ghost ship type things. And plenty of sea monster category stuff; sea serpents, giant fish, sharks, etc. Harpies flying along the coastline. Bunyips in the waters, along with reefclaws; some of which might be really big. And even aquatic clockworks.

We've published a lot of content near and around the Varisian Gulf for 1st edition, but not much in 2nd edition yet. Books like Magnimar and Sandpoint, or adventures like "It Came from Hollow Mountain" or "The Dead Heart of Xin" come to mind.

Wow! Thanks James! I'll give those a look!
