Coconut Harbor
The small village in the south of the main island at the center of the Azure isles (same island that coraluna is on) once a wealthy town, in recent years bandits took ownership after the governer vanished, thus taking control and stealing all of the local's money. Once a town that thrived off tourism, for people seeking to relax, now due to the bandits it has become practically a ghost town.
Demographics
Coconut Harbor, once a thriving tourist destination, is now a shadow of its former self. The population consists of the remaining locals who have not fled, and the bandits who have taken control. The town was previously a diverse mix of residents and tourists, but now it is sparsely populated, with a sense of fear and desolation hanging over the village.
Government
The town used to be governed by a local governor, but since their mysterious disappearance, bandits have taken over. The current rule is dictated by the strongest bandit leaders, who enforce their will through intimidation and violence. The once orderly governance has dissolved into chaos and lawlessness.
