The Shifting Isles are a collection of magically unstable islands where landmasses occasionally drift or change shape. Situated in a temperate sea, this region serves as a crossroads for seafaring merchants and fierce indigenous tribes. The abundance of residual magic makes navigation a hazardous but rewarding venture. Small outposts and tribal villages dot the coasts, often relying on stone anchors to remain grounded. Life here is defined by the rhythm of the tides and the whims of the currents.
