Barren Shores
The northern edges of the Cyrios Mountains drop off into dark pebble beaches known as the Barren Shores. Many believe that an ancient being of immense strength pulverized the edge of the mountains with a series of mighty blows. Others speculate that the shore is somehow related to the Pallid Grove. Whatever the case, these stories of forgotten magic exert an undeniable pull on the curious minds of adventurers and historians alike. Traversing the icy waters of the Frigid Depths is nearly as dangerous as climbing the uncharted expanse of the Cyrios Mountains, and those who survive the journey are greeted by monstrous, twisted crustaceans and seaside cults eager to torment trespassers. Some divine historians theorize that something ancient and cruel might have been released into the nearby sea when the mountains were sundered; they speculate that the strange ring of small islands surrounding the nearby inlet to the west may be connected to the being’s whereabouts and purpose.
One point of interest on the Barren Shores is the haunted wreckage of a smuggler's ship onshore.
This shipwreck washed onshore on the Barren Shores of the Menagerie Coast of Wildemount. The smugglers who comprised the ship's crew were killed by its own cargo that became animated—including Flying Swords, Rugs of Smothering, and Animated Armor—by a baleful spirit that is tethered to a golden chair inside.
