Tortuga Gazetteer - Vol. 05.03.31
Creator of the Isles?
Dearest Reader,
you will simply not believe what I have uncovered! During my travels with a promising young group of sailors, we happened to be shipwrecked during an altercation. You need not worry my dearest friend, for we managed to survive and rebuild the ship stronger and better again! This island luckily turned out to be one of the semi-stable ones, even containing the small fishing village going by the name of "Her Eternal Grace", these fine folk were most helpful and had something peculiar to show.
In the centre of their village sits a wooden idol, depicting a slender and graceful woman, with flawless perfection. They claim that she was the one that brought forth the isles into existence. With the intention to always have an everchanging ground to care for, to populate with the ones that were like her. The ones that were ostraciced by their siblings on the mainland, those that did not fit in anywhere else.
These fine people claim that since that day she has connected the oceans of the world to the isles, maintaining contact to anyone else, but instead on her terms. Bringing in ships and crews that expected to go somewhere else, providing her children with plentiful loot and new crewmates to spare.
I was only in the village for a short time and unfortunately not lucky enough to witness her divine magic in actionn, although the village elder assured me that it was spectacular and flawless. Now I pose to you the question, my dearest reader, have you witnessed such a show of power? Do you believe that it was that goddess of beauty, creation and kindness that made the isles?

On the Bridge - Today with Cianan Everwave
Dearest Reader,
today we meet with the one and only Cianan Everwave, master of the weather, tamer of storms and friend to all beasts of the ocean.
We were talking at length about different topics, mostly the creatures that call the Shifting Isles their home. Apparently the strange changes to the beasts we have been observing, are not natural at all. As you know, it happens from time to time that a creature is born too close to a source of magic, being infused with it and changing it forevermore. The best known example are the many dragonborn that hail from the Southern Reaches, specifically the ones that still have their patron dragons.
This, however, is something completely different. It looks like magic has been infusing these creatures, but at the same time, they are very different in their nature, much more intelligent, much more aggressive and equipped with a great deal of magical powers.
So Ciannan has kindly requested me to put out the call, if you see such a creature, exterminate it, as it poses a great deal of danger to the stability of the delicate balance that is the Shifting Isles.
I beg of you my dear reader, if you decide to take on this bounty, make sure to protect yourself. I could simply not bear to lose even a single one of you!

Dragonfall & Dragonborn
Dearest Reader,
talking with Ciannan about the arcane infused creatures made me remmeber the city of Dragonfall. As you all know, they were once part of the early Queng-Ho rulership thriving under the Dragon Emperor, oh how I would have loved to pick such a creatures brain, falling into ruin when the cities patron went insane and destroyed the city.
How has this affected the creation and birth of new dragonborn in the area? her magic should still linger, this is not something that goes away easily. Have the dragonborn been affected at all? Do they change in appearance, do they remain unchanged?
How does the arcana flow? What changes and what stays the same? Do you have made any experiences with this particular phenomenon? If you do, please approach and tell me anything you might know! I would be most grateful to all of you, for your continued aid.
