Lith

Lith, a tiny island east of Hawk’s Isle, has a dangerous and evil reputation on the Inner Sea. Boats which have landed on this island (there are no harbors for ships) either return having found nothing, or never return at all. As there are no harbors, and little enough land, the island has never been settled, but it still holds some fascination for the pirates, and many adventurers have traveled to the island to uncover its secret—never to return.
Liths secret is the origin of the mysterious other name for the Inner Sea: the Sea of Falling Stars. Sages of three centuries ago observed a cloud of swirling shooting stars high above the Inner Sea. One particularly bright star shot down from the sky straight into the Inner Sea: this star was bright enough to be seen and noted in both Suzail and Skuld. The image was sufficiently impressive that several sagesquested for the landing spot of the star; none ever reported finding it, although many gave up after a time and a few were never seen again.
The quests and the tales quickly brought the Sea its poetic name. The truth is as insidious and horrible as can be imagined. A battle between a neogi broodship and a Shou Lung dragonship eventually led to the destruction of the neogi ship. However, rather than simply being destroyed in space, the ship crashlanded on the island of Lith, and its Great Old Master (having only barely survived the crash) was able to crawl free just before hatching time. After the traditional cannibalistic frenzy, the surviving neogi brood numbered five, and they quickly set to feasting on the animals on the tiny island.
Over the years, several generations of neogi have been born, each quickly spreading across the tiny island. Usually, the last meal of the Great Old Master are his sibling neogi, and thus each generation starts anew. There are no umber hulks on the island, and the neogi seem unable to swim, so for the moment the creatures are confined to Lith. They have managed to survive their confinement, although the pull of Toril’s gravity is severely damaging, forcing them to remain dormant in the late spring, summer, and early fall, hiding in underground burrows.
Their natural ability to enslave umber hulks has extended to much of the remaining animal life on the island, and the neogi can send animals in battle against those who land on their island. Thus far, any visitors to Lith have become food for the insatiable neogi colony, unless they arrived during one of the periodic dormant phases. However, it is possible to communicate with the, neogi (although these creatures, being isolated from their society, do not speak common)
if they were met just at the end of their hibernation, before their ravening hunger set in. If the neogi colony were contacted by those who would exploit it, these vicious slavers could be spread across the Forgotten Realms.
