Akufa
With the exception of a few coastal settlements, Akufa is untamed tropical wilderness: dense jungles and snaky rivers ringed by mountains, volcanoes, and sheer escarpments. Walls of mountains to the west, north, and east shield the interior from the sea and from the view of
sailors. The rivers are so sluggish that it can be difficult determining which direction is upstream and which is down. The rivers pick up speed only where they thunder down through steep-sided gorges.
The safest entry points into this overgrown realm ("safest" is a relative term in this context) are on the south and east. The coast from the Bay of Akufa to Refuge Bay offers beaches on which to embark into the uncharted jungle. Along the entire coast, the Bay of Akufa is the only spot where travelers can find welcoming civilization. The rest of the peninsula is a breeding ground
for bloodsucking, disease-bearing insects, monstrous reptiles, carnivorous birds and beasts of every variety, and murderous undead. The farther one moves from the coast, the more humid, hot, and inhospitable the land becomes
