The Swavain Islands is the name given to a sub-region of
The Menagerie Coast located to the south-west of
Wildemount, off the shores of the mainland and north of The Shattered Teeth. The islands and archilpelagos filling this area are constantly fought over by the government of city states:
The Clovis Concord and the cunning, power hungry pirates of
The Revelry.
Notable Islands
On Bisaft Isle are some remaining signs of the
Ki'Nau people that were indigenous to these islands prior to becoming part of the Clovis Concord.
Named after the city of
Brokenbank.
The largest of the Swavain Islands. It has a volcanic peak, Itaa, which is said to have been one of the many thrones of
Kord, the Stormlord while he walked Exandria.
Darktow Isle is an island that was originally part of the
Clovis Concord, but is currently under control of
The Revelry, a pirate union of sorts run by the Plank King.
The Gravid Archipelago is a group of three rocky islands marked with only small pockets of trees and jungle, in the Lucidian Ocean, lying roughly between
Brokenbank and
Bisaft Isle.
Rumblecusp is a volcanic island in the Lucidian Ocean.
A sacred location to the
native people of the coast, this pair of surprisingly tall islands are all cliffs, with no beaches.
The island is inhabited by lizardfolk and yuan-ti that regularly fight each other for its control. The Temple of the False Serpent which contains one of the seals of Uk'otoa is located on this island.
The island is a series of large, craggy hills that surround a small valley where a small society of fey live within an enchanted tropical forest.
Additional Locations
The location is known for its rough waters, and unusual frequency of fierce storms. The sea bed is a valley that is littered with numerous shipwrecks.
An active volcano toxifying and transforming the surrounding wildlife.
Notable Reefs
Dragshallow Reef: Shallow reefs that surround
Darktow Isle with a tangled graveyard of destroyed ships and gathered driftwood marking the shallow spots across this jagged cluster of reef.
Torrid Reef: The reef stretches over 400 miles in a U-shape. Out of the ocean, beside the reef, rises an endless column of smoke from the
Everplume volcano beneath. Influence from the Everplume is also physically changing the fauna of the reef into fire-based creatures.
Southern Gate Reef: The Southern Gate Reef lies directly against the southeastern shore of
Bwualli.
Mother's Sigh Reef: The Mother's Sigh Reef stretches 200 miles from the eastern coasts of the
Twinward Isles to the shore of the Menagerie Coast a little over 75 miles directly west of
Feolinn. It creates a bountiful fishing ground in the waters near Feolinn, but makes for rough waters by the Twinward Isles.
Deep Row: Has a number of small islands all throughout the reef that aren't on larger maps. It lies close to the northwestern shore of
Bwualli.
Inkclaw Reef: The reef between
Rumblecusp and
Urukayxl. The reef is about 20 feet, 15 feet, ten feet below sea level, some of them barely breaching the surface. They are colorful reefs that are full of vibrant life, all manner of sea creatures and fish, and jutting pieces of stone and broken wood. The waters around the reef are murky and dark, and many sea creatures living in the reef tend to kick up the silt at the bottom. This obscures where the reef comes close to the surface of the water, giving the reef a reputation of sneaking up and raking through the bottom of passing ships. There are multiple remnants of ships scattered across the reef that have been overgrown.
