Bitter Coast

A few hundred miles off of the Forest Coast, Bitter Coast has been claimed for hundreds of years by the monarchs of Castorhage, and has over the years been a royal residence, a hermetic retreat, and a place of exile. It also is a temporary island whose appearance and disappearance remains a mystery to sages. Some believe the island is transported by supernatural methods, perhaps as some form of trap laid by Dagon or another sea god to draw mortals to their doom. Others believe the island rises to the surface and is lowered again by mechanical means through vast undersea pumps constructed by a long-forgotten civilization that once called the island home.
All that is confirmed is that the vast palace complex found upon the island, believed to date back to Phoromyceaen times, has been on the island since its discovery. Many visited the island, and many of those were lost when the island disappeared again. And whenever the island reappears, no evidence remains of any of those who occupied it when it disappeared. Nevertheless, the island continues to be sought out by explorers seeking to uncover its secrets and explore its lost history.
