Welcome to the Acrhipelago

Albatross Archipelago is simply and aptly named for the variety of colossal albatross that calls it home. Though itself rural and politically insignificant, it is easily reached by travelers from other isolas, and is in turn easy to travel to other isolas in the cluster – assuming a navigator knows the way. 

Begrudging Peace

At present, five distinct polities occupy the region: the primarily human settlement of Redbeach ruled by the Navigator’s Guild, the goblins under the rule of the petty demon Malak, the elves of Irota’s Grove, the dwarves of the Mines of Hizar, and Imperial Outpost Enlil. 

The Goblins would like to eradicate everyone, the elves would prefer if the humans left, Redbeach would prefer if everyone paid them taxes, and the Imperial settlors would like to bring them all to heel under the banner of Sargon.  The dwarves would like the humans to ship them better mead.  While no one actively pursues these goals, at present, the peace is begrudging and one of convenience – shrugging and pointing at other threats is a good excuse for leadership to keep the peace while stoking political passions.
