Outer Isles
A collection of six small islands on the northern fringe of the archipelago. Settlements cling to the leeward aspects of craggy escarpments dropping into the sea. Fiercely independent, Outer Islanders make their living fishing and occasionally producing crafts and jewelry inspired by the rugged coasts.
Other
Ioene
An island volcano many weeks north by sailing vessel and destination of dozens of Kiriilti Nocturnais. Former home of the Vanished civilization. Ravaged by severe seasonal changes that bring days and nights lasting for months as well as a storm season that is not thought to be survivable.
Waikert Archipelago
The jungled home of the brutal Waikert sea tribes. A month’s sail southeast from the Kiriilt group.
Jalakyrisi Spicelands
A distant group of three islands where monks collect spices rumored to have magical properties.
Reknarish
A landmass large enough that it takes three weeks to sail the length of the eastern coast. Few Kiriilti have ventured to a Reknarishi port city, and none have been deeper than a day inland. The northern and southern coasts are unexplored by Kiriilti captains.
