The Glistening Reach is a sprawling collection of sun-drenched islands scattered across a shallow, crystalline sea. Spanning nearly 120 miles, the archipelago is defined by its vibrant coral reefs and dense palm forests. While many see a tropical paradise, the Reach is a cutthroat hub of commerce and clandestine operations. Life here follows the rhythm of the tides, with most inhabitants living in stilt-houses or bustling dock-towns. Wealth flows as freely as the ocean currents.
