The Jagged Reefs

A dreaded line of coral reefs and small jagged islands, the reefs fringe the main shipping routes out of the Archipelago and to the closest mainland, the continent of Eovreon. The main body of the reef is made up of five large, mountainous peaked islands which erupt out of the water, stretching high into the sky, like the talons of a dragons claw. An oddly accurate image, as the reef was once the staging ground for a huge battle, where swarms of dragons took to the sky, the flames of the ongoing battle illuminating the reefs for four nights. In the end a blue Dragon, Keddress, emerged victorious, ruling the surrounding seas and freely plundering the trade ships which passed for treasure.

A few thousand years ago however the attacks suddenly stopped, and Kedress disappeared, seemingly melding into the rocks of the land. Despite her long absence, the islands remain largely abandoned, except by some roving tribes of various humanoids which call the reef home, as the vast collection of ruined ships and Dragon bones tend to strike some terror into any who approach. Of course, the many adventuring parties who set forth seeking gold, never to return act as something of a deterrent themselves….

Underwater Cities

Indeed, there are rumours Lord Mossbeard, the famed explorer and writer may be planning a new expedition sometime in the near future…
