The Moon Chain Islands stretch across a broad tropical sea north of the Davania Coast and east of the Pearl Islands. Three major islands anchor the region: triangular Tres Puntos, crescent-shaped Crescent Isle, and sprawling Moon Mist Island. Rocky harbors, jungle villages, elven mesas, cat-folk trade fleets, and a failing dwarven port create a frontier where every voyage carries opportunity, danger, and rumors of old magic stirring beneath the hills.

Field Observations

Sea travel is usually faster than crossing the interior hills.,Storm seasons can close minor harbors and isolate villages for days.,Inland trails are narrow, muddy, and often controlled by local guides.

Cultures

Moon-court elven traditions shape inland communities through astronomy, ritual magic, and careful stewardship of jungle and mesa.

Cat-folk coastal culture prizes navigation, family caravans, harbor defense, and oral histories carried between islands.

Dwarven stonecraft survives around Stoneport, where practical engineering and ancestral obligation compete with economic decline.
