The Azure Islands
The Azure Islands were the primary choice of most of the non-human refugees during The Burning.
Rich in plant life, fishing opportunities, minerals, volcanoes and fiercely independent city states, it is a haven for free spirits and adventurers alike.
Geography
Eight islands of varying size, all have volcanic origins and subtropical climates.
The two largest islands, Firstan and Sailshome lie as the southernmost sentries to the archipelago, framing the only officially mapped entry to the archipelago.
The waters surrounding the area is marred by jutting rocks and treacherous currents. Here, fish and aquatic mammals alike frolic in large numbers.
The six smaller islands are rough and poorly formed, with few inlets available for harbours or docks, though efforts are being made to alter this with the help of summoned elementals.
Fauna & Flora
The fauna of The Azure Islands is mainly avian and aquatic, with a few lizards and small mammals in the local food chains.
After the arrival of the refugees with their ill-kept herds of domestic animals, pets and pests, the native animals were forced to adapt quickly or die out.
The few large animals have over the centuries moved closer to civilized lands in an attempt to gain easier access to the prey provided in the herds of farmers.
The largest beasts on the archipelago are the Rocs. Few in number, they are revered by the people of the islands as the spiritual guardians of the little haven in the ocean.
Natural Resources
The lands are self sufficient with terrace farming of the staples of diet: Rice, Maize and potatoes. The smaller islands have recently discovered clusters of gems such as emeralds and rubies near the calderas of their local volcanoes.
The minerals that can be dug from the lands are of a poor quality, but are easily accessible to even the most unsophisticated mining techniques.
