Nelanther Isles

The Nelanther, known also as The Nelanther Isles, are a widely scattered chain of nearly one thousand islands west of Amn and Tethyr in the Trackless Sea. More than half the islands lack potable water and are an unfit place to live. The hundreds of islands that could support life are fought over by ruthless pirates who tend to prey upon the shipping lines of Amn, Tethyr, Calimshan, the Sword Coast and the Moonshae Isles. Most maps show many of the main islands and many of the minor islands, but not the shoals, currents, small exposed or submerged islets, and other hazards among the inner Nelanther. Most of the islands are surrounded by perilous reefs.
