The Glimmering Strand is a vibrant coastal kingdom spanning fifty miles of tropical shoreline and enchanted lagoons. High magic saturates the region, causing flora to glow and fish to drift through the air. This prosperous territory exists between the thick inland jungle and the deep secrets of the turquoise sea. Governance is shared among several local lords who oversee their own magical fiefs. It is a land of wonder, opportunity, and hidden aquatic dangers.
