Mysthaven Isles

Scattered across The Shrouded Sea and sheltered from the rest of the world by the mists of Leiras Veil are the various islands of the Mysthaven Isles.

Geography

While it is common for people to refer to all islands within The Shrouded Sea as part of the Mysthaven Isles, it is important to note that this is an oversimplified generalization. In fact, the Mysthaven Isles are made up of a combination of various well-dispersed island chains, archipelagos, and solitary isles spread across hundreds of miles of ocean.

Climate

Spanning a great distance from north to south, the Mysthaven Isles provide a wide diversity of climate.
Far to the north, in the lands roamed by the nomadic Northern Tribes, summers are cool and wet. The winters, however, can be so snowy and frigid that the waters of the sea itself often freeze.
On the other hand, in the southernmost reaches of the Mysthaven Isles, one can expect to find a tropical climate where the temperature is hot and humid year round.

Mists

A defining feature found throughout the Mysthaven Isles is the presence of strange otherworldly mists. These mists, though incredibly rare in other parts of the world, are common-place in The Shrouded Sea and the Mysthaven Isles. This phenomena commonly takes two forms: the stationary, ever-present wall of mist known as Leiras Veil and the smaller, more dynamic Mist Storms. Both are characterized by unnaturally heavy mists and are often accompanied by strange, arcane properties.
The highly unpredictable nature of these mists makes travelling through them a dangerous endeavor for even the most skilled sailors. As a result, very little direct study has been conducted of these phenomena and much about them remains unknown.

Politics

Politics within the Mysthaven Isles have been largely shaped by the geography of the region. Leiras Veil provides a natural deterrent to outside forces and the dispersed nature of the islands has allowed the various governing bodies to not only coexist peacefully, but, in many cases, to treat each other as allies and partners.
There are three primary governing entities within the Mysthaven Isles: the Mysthaven Isles (country), the Sea Elves of Eanor Grotto, and the Northern Orc Tribes. Though many smaller, self-governed territories exist it is these three that wield the most influence and power.

Natural Resources

The Mysthaven Isles are a source for a variety of natural resources, many of them unique to the region, however, Kona is perhaps the most notable. The importance of Kona results largely from its high demand and value as an export, but there are also a number of local traditions that give it local significance.
