Shoal Islands

The Shoal Islands are a groups of islands southeast of Syr. They are so-called because the area around them is treacherous for ship to navigate through due to unexpected hallows and reefs. While there is a safe passage into the island chain it is complicated and only known to a few. This makes the Shoal Islands a perfect base of operations for pirates who have created a type of society here. The main settlement is called Haram Bay and is ruled by Olivya Dain. Not much is known of Mistress Dayne, but she has a great many connection, not only amongst the Pirate crews that use the Bay as their base of operations, but also on the mainlands. She is able to sell much of the cargo the pirates bring in without being asked too many questions.

The Shoal Islands are also home to a group of natives called the Mocar. The Mocar farm and hunt on the islands and use small canoes to travel between the islands. The relationship between the pirate settlers of Haram Bay and the Mocar are tenuous at best. The Mocar that live near the bay are mostly employed by Mistress Dayne to tend to her Drudane crops. Drudane, the plant that is used to make make Hesh, a potent drug favored amongst Pirates and others, grows plentiful on the Shoal ISlands and is another source of wealth for Olivia Dayne. The further from Haram Bay you get though, the most you will find Mocar that look at the settler of the Bay as invaders who are enslaving their people for false comforts, and getting them addicted to Hesh to keep them working.
