Mandible Isle

The “jaws” protecting the narrow Strait of Praeis include Mandible Isle to the east and its mate, Maxilla Isle to the west. The strait separating the two is deep and wide, but the islands themselves are hazardous to ships that come too close. Mandible Isle is little more than a very high plateau surrounded by steep, rocky cliffs that provide no easily accessible shore line. A number of rocs make their homes on the high plateau and hunt animals in the heavy vegetation on the plateau as well as prey found on the Southern Reach nearby. While the massive creatures are not known to bother passing ships, their shadows and distant flying shapes strike fear into the sailors.
