The Myriad Islands

The Myriad Islands are a collection of many hundred (perhaps as many as several thousand) islands situated in the Great Ocean to the south and east of Oyashima. The Islands have cultivated their own school of magic.

There are six major chains:

The Pula'ati Islands, typified by palm trees, low population density, rich fishing, and active volcanos

The Arakbarian Archipelago, a densely populated, massive collection of islands known for their prodigous spices, aquatic vampires, and ruthless pirates

The Fire Chain, lair of the Great Ocean's dragons and home to several portals to other dimensions (including the Plane of Fire, the Plane of Water, and various levels of Hell and the Abyss)

The Miribiri Islands, a far-flung collection of sparsely populated islands with an indigenous elven population and a sprawling series of mysterious stone monuments whose purpose has been lost to the passage of time

Zanibati, a collection of four grand, relatively densely populated islands that serve as The Myriad Islands' unofficial capital

The Icobati Grouping, home to some of the world's most extensive (and unexplored) sea caves, and the site of sacrifices by both islands and Sauhaugin

Residents of the Islands worship a pantheon of sea, sky, and volcano gods. Typical weapons include spears (polo'lu), the tripping rope (pikoi), the marlin dagger, the sling, and the shark-toothed club.

Barbarians from the Myriad Islands automatically start with swimming, navigation, fishing, and sailor proficiencies.
