The most up to date maps and charts of the Snarltooth Peninsula's Southern Coast. The Snarltooth Coast: As you journey along the Snarltooth Coast, you leave behind familiar landscapes and step into a realm of untamed beauty and danger. The transformation is profound. The air carries the tang of salt, and the distant, rhythmic crashing of waves fills your ears. Jagged cliffs loom overhead, as ancient and awe-inspiring as the land itself. They rise like weathered titans, etched with the scars of countless centuries. The cliffs present both a breathtaking spectacle and a formidable challenge for those who seek to traverse their rugged heights. Eerie mists enshroud the coast, lending an otherworldly quality to the surroundings. They seem to harbor forgotten secrets, and it's as if you're stepping into a realm where time itself unravels, and the past intertwines with the present. The shoreline is marked by tidal pools and hidden coves, revealing treasures and relics as the tide ebbs and flows. Shimmering shells, coveted by collectors and alchemists, peek from the sandy depths. But be vigilant, for these pools also hide lurking predators. At the fringes of the Snarltooth Coast, a sparse forest of gnarled trees and twisted branches awaits. These ancient sentinels seem to guard the secrets of the coast. Their whispered conversations suggest a hidden wisdom, an awareness of the enigmatic past that pervades this land. And then, there is the Thundering Arch, a monumental stone formation that stands sentinel over the coast. It has endured countless ages and bears the scars of a tumultuous history. Local folklore hints at its role as a portal to otherworldly realms, a gateway to forgotten worlds. The Snarltooth Coast is also a treasure trove of enigmatic ruins, remnants of lost civilizations and crumbling fortresses. They come in various forms—some swallowed by the earth, others clinging precariously to cliff faces, and still more half-buried in the shifting sands. Each of these ruins is a mystery waiting to be unraveled, revealing the land's storied past. Perhaps the most noteworthy ruins of the area are the ruins of the Verdant Gate, a castle hewn from living wood by the Fey of the inland forests to protect against an ancient incursion of men and elves. As you delve deeper into the coast, you'll encounter the Cursed Sands, a desolate area of shifting dunes and spectral inscriptions. It's rumored that disturbing this sand awakens a malevolent guardian—an ancient, vengeful spirit bound to protect hidden treasures. Below the surface, beneath the very feet of the coast's visitors, lies the labyrinthine network of the Moaning Caverns. These subterranean tunnels echo with strange sounds and ghostly whispers. They are rumored to hold the secrets of a forgotten cult and their arcane experiments. The mines in Edarhyne are said to connect to these deep and mysterious caverns. But amidst the rugged wildness, there is a touch of civilization. The Serpent's Eye Lighthouse stands perched on a treacherous outcrop. Its light is a rare beacon of hope for sailors navigating the perilous waters of the Snarltooth Coast. Settlements like Oakwood and even cities like Edarhyne provide services and succor from the wild as well as a testament to the millenia of history enshrouded in these wildlands. The land is not only marked by its geography but also by the presence of fantastical creatures. Wyverns, Sea serpents and more ancient horrors glide through the sky and the turbulent waves, chitinous shorecrawlers scuttle along the rocky shores, and mysterious large shadows wheel through the skies. Each of these creatures has adapted to the coast's unique challenges, some in harmony with the humanoid population, some in indifference and some in hostile antipathy. Throughout the Snarltooth Coast, the landscape is colored by the prevalence of wild deciduous rain forests, including the dramatic ancient golden oaks and cherry trees brought from the far east. Their leaves and blossoms imbue the land with wild hues of gold and pink, adding to the sense of otherworldly beauty that defines this rugged and enigmatic realm.
