Arinos, The Coral Throne

As you sail across the seas the misty ocean clears and you spot an island floating above the waves, vines wreathed around its sides that are adorned with vibrant coral outcroppings. Water seems to perpetually flow from out of a dozen small tunnels at the base of the island into the sea below. Even from this distance you can see a small ruined temple at the top.

Geography

The island itself is a 50-foot-wide, 200-foot-high spire of rock that is decorated with patches of coral rock and plant life. The spire is inhabited by a dozen merfolk, including their leader, The Coral Queen, a powerful sorceress blessed by Phenax. A temple to Phenax tops the spire.

At the top of the island is a 50 foot wide circular temple that has been heavily worn by the elements. Faceless, hooded statues surround a central pool, each in a pose as if it is throwing, flicking, or tossing something into the water. Fallen columns lie scattered across the ground. Shattered mosaics depict a hooded figure blessing a fish- tailed humanoid.
By Night. When the moon shines on the pool, it glows as if filled with starlight. While the water glows you can see through it clearly. Otherwise your vision is limited to 20 feet. The hooded statues also glow with a slight luminescence, and each of them has a vibrant gold mark in their hand in the shape of a gold coin.
