Barrier Islands

These rough, rocky islands of varying sizes shelter the inner coastline and stretch from Farshore to the Mouth of Akados. They vary in size, with most covered in thick vegetation and populated by a large variety of birds and small animals. Coral reefs around the various islands somehow move through the shallow, rocky waters, their random movements combining with the rough, jagged shorelines of the islands to make the waters unnavigable for larger ships and deep draft boats.
A wide diversity of fish and oysters are found in this area, particularly near the moving reefs, but only the local fishermen from Tindledusk or Farshore are willing to risk these waters in their smaller boats. These fishermen take the time to study the reefs and their movements, and find their own safe zones to ply their trade. None of these fishermen travels west of the promontory south of Greentail Wood. A clan of sahuagin claims the unnamed bay between the Southern Reach and the Greentail Wood, and so long as no fishermen or ships impinge on their territory, they make no move against areas around them. Nobody knows how many sahuagin are actually in the area, but the local fishermen are afraid of them and avoid their territory. So far, the sahuagin stay within the bay, but the fishermen and town leaders nearby keep a wary eye on the waters near Greentail Wood.
