The true creation of the sea occurred ages ago, in the final years of the Days of Thunder, when the primordial Asgoroth the World Shaper, along with the first dragons, were released from their imprisonment by the creator race known as the batrachi. Other theories maintained the cataclysmic change of landscape was actually the eggs of the first dragons raining down onto Toril. Entire continents were lost in the ensuing earthquakes, fires, and windstorms and the four centrally located seas of Faerûn merged together, forming the "Sea of Fallen Stars".

For most areas, these boundaries were clear, but they became more ambiguous in Mulhorand, Thay, and Unther, owing to continual border disputes. Any attacks on shipping within a country's waters were considered to be acts of war. Areas of sea further than ten miles from the nearest land were considered neutral territory. There was a recognized territorial limit of ten miles (16.1 kilometers) offshore among all the nations on the Sea of Fallen Stars. Another dangerous creature that hid in the waters was a mottled sidi octopus, a fierce opponent larger than a greater raik in size. Their smaller kin, lesser raiks, were significantly less territorial and aggressive. Greater raiks were predatory and aggressive hook-jawed fish the size of an adolescent human.

From Cormyr's Imperial Navy and Sembia's 15,000 sailors and corsairs in the west, to the small but hardy fleet of dozen Impilturan warships in the east, and the militia-navy of Turmish in the south, the waters of the Inner Sea were well-traveled by ships that flew the flags of coastal nations in central Faerûn. The sea served as a crucial trade way for the powers of central and northern Faerûn and beyond. Its major areas included the Dragonmere, also known as the Lake of Dragons, in the west the Dragon and Easting Reaches in the north the Alamber Sea in the east and the Vilhon Reach in the south.
