Shattered Isles
The Shattered Isles are a set of five islets off the mainland of Gloomwrought. Originally a part of the city, they were violently torn away from the mainland during a rebellion against Prince Rolan. The Shattered Isles are derisively called the "Ghost Quarter" due to the high number of ghosts which reside there.
