Chaos Islands

A region of water covering the ocean to the west of Meeg and Eboris where the islands are never in the same spot and sailing becomes very difficult without a wayfinder or other means to find a specific island. No one has ever sailed west past the islands and returned to the east. Some think that this marks the barrier of the world (those that think the world is flat for some reason), while others say it represents a tear between planes. No one is quite sure what exactly is happening out there as attempts to map it by both powerful mages and high tech groups have been thwarted by its very nature.
Some of the known islands, found, studied, and eventually lost by explores including the following:

• Island of statues, also know as stone island or just statue island. It was found by an expedition by the Scarlette Imperium back in 511 EC who discovered a tear to the elemental plane of Earth upon it. Here the mages of the SI set up a lab and a weapons manufacturing facility to aid the empire in their wars. They even brought metals and artifacts from other islands to study here, and used them to craft The Mother of Gorgons who could manufacture other gorgons from living tissue. Unfortunatly she eventually broke their control and the base had to be abandoned with the connected closed teleportation network circle scrubbed from most informational lists.

• Island of Giants. One of the SI's expiditions found this place and the remains of an ancient underground insectiod civilization with odd metal. It's here they also uncovered a strange stone that they eventually brought to the statue island for study. They also found people on the island unconnected from other lands since the Sundering. Unfortunatly, contact with the stone had driven the expidition leader insane and she stole the voices from the people before destroying her teleportation circle back to the empire. No one's sure what happened to her next though there are rummors she sleeps somewhere there, ready to do battle with whatever comes to her.

• Water Temple Island. Once the last stop on the pilgramage for the Divine Light this temple has been lost for over 1000 years. Only those with the blessing of the DL or a wayfinder from Mistvale could find it in the everchanging chaos islands. Some years ago though a group of adventurers saught it out as it was reported to be the final resting place for a sword that was used to kill the last high priestess of the DL. Later the place became inhabited by one of these adventuers, looking for a place to escape and atone for his actions. Some think that only the most needy find this place, and almost always by accident.
