Thick,
tropical forests surround rocky, volcanic peaks on these seven islands. The
forests provide a rich source of exotic plant and animal life, while the
mountains are rich in minerals.
The Scarlet Brotherhood has emerged as
a power among the people, and though most isle lords chafe under them, many feel
that the Brotherhood's power will give them revenge on their longtime enemies,
the Sea Barons.
Slavery is increasingly important.
Recently, mithral was discovered on one island, and specialized slaves—mostly
dwarves—have been abducted from Ulek and Irongate. If the mine is as rich as
the isle lords think, more dwarves may soon find themselves laboring in this
tropical paradise.
