Shroughstocke

Shroughstocke is a very low-set chain, in fact a handful of the islands in the chain are half submerged. Some believe Shroughstocke is going to sink soon, but most believe that’s a myth. The population of Shroughstocke is very small, and the few amount of people that live there choose too because of the small population, which has its benefits for some people. Almost all of the towns are built on an elevated surface, there is only one that is built on dry land. There are also a lot of unique trees that can only be found in Shroughstocke, though there is not a lot of land for them to grow on. The preservation of these trees in Shroughstocke is vital, since this is one of their only sources of money.

History

Shroughstocks was found by a group of people on a group of people on a cruise ship that got lost. No one had any particular interest in living there, so when they got back, they alerted the sultan of the island they came from and eventually word spread. Eventually, a couple hundred people went to live there, and a handful of towns were erected. The town hasn't changed much since when it was found.

Out of the few people that live in Shroughstocks, most of them are antisocial and don't like social interaction, which is why they went to Shroughstocke in the first rate. However, the crime rate is very low across the entire chain. The most common race in the chain is human, with races that are centered around tribes also being common.
