The Cleared Reef Isles form a broad tropical archipelago of pirate coves, rainforest ridges, mangrove channels, and storm-battered reefs. Crews, clans, merchants, and fugitives compete for salvage, safe anchorages, and control of magical routes beneath the sea. No single authority rules for long, yet shared customs prevent total collapse. The region supports many settlements, from hidden camps and fishing villages to fortified ports crowded with ships, spellcasters, and opportunists.
