Blush Islands
The Blush Islands are a group of islands to the south of Karji, considered part of the continent of Ghrebam. The ocean around them is tinged with magic and the veil between worlds is thin, thus the islands themselves are in a state of constant flux- shifting layout and location as if they were moods.

Geography
The exact number of islands is unknown and merchants and fishers say that islands shift location, change size, appear and disappear without warning. Most of the well known islands with established communities stay more or less in the same spot however, though their inhabitants say the geography on the individual islands can surprise even those who have lived their entire lives there.
The largest island is called Magnalano and it sits in the northeast, close to the Handsome Finger. Ashcote, on the southern end is the second largest island, a long stretch of mountainous land running east to west. Arbormare, the third largest island is not frequented by outsiders as it is located in the harder-to-reach middle of the island chain. Occove, in the north and Larlee in the southwest are better known as they house larger ports and are common stops for traders navigating the Glass Passage. Bengruf is a mid-sized island, also with trading colonies run by Karji Corporations.

Ecosystem
The Blush Islands contain a variety of types of ecosystems, though mostly are jungle and mountain. Many claim that there are more types of fruit that grow on each individual island than in the entire rest of the world, though an accurate survey has never been done. There are snow-capped peaks, volcanos, temperate forests, grassy valleys, and cave systems, many of which are submerged in water. Because of the proximity to outside planes of existence, there are places where otherworldly ecosystems have spread over onto the islands.
Localized Phenomena
Islands are said to appear and disappear according to unknown patterns and laws of physics. They are also believed to change in size and shift their location relative to other islands. This process is never witnessed first hand, or if it is, those who see it do not experience it or remember it. No scientific evidence has ever been collected on this; it is understood more like how one "could have sworn" they left an item in a different place where they found it.
Portals are common in the Blush Islands. There are a number of known permanent portals to the Feywild , Shadowfell, Elemental Plane Of Fire, Elemental Plane of Air, Sigil, and other places, though they vary in their ease to access. Ashcote, for example, has two easily accessed Fey Crossings.

The
Fauna & Flora
Jungle trees, plants, and creatures are commonly found in the Blush Islands. There are also countless different species of fish that live in the network of coral reefs that sprawl between the landmasses. There are also many flora and fauna from other bordering planes of existence. Ashcote, for example, has bright glowing purple and orange trees, bushes, and mushrooms, said to be cousins of species native to the Feywild. Occove is known for ember-orange colored trees that are hot to the touch.
