Batun
Batun is known, rather derogatively, as a circus colony. While this is technically true, in actuality there's a lot more to it than that. In reality, it's a refugee camp for people in the southern part of the outer lands that have been forced out of their homes for various reasons and had nowhere else to go, due to pirates, natural disasters, conflicts with the New Society, and other reasons.
The circus thing is more of a side gig - only a small section of the island, the western side, actually goes with the circus theme, and even then most of the people that live in that area aren't actually circus performers. The point of the circus is twofold: firstly, it provides the people who have lost their homes with distraction and levity, mostly the children. Second, it serves as a way to bring in money for the community, through tourists such as the party.
One of the members of the circus, more specifically one of the clowns, is a young kobold named Snek, who also goes by the name of Litty the clown.
The key problem on Batun is that the Bloody Scourge has decided that because there are so many people there, who are being defended only by carnival folk, that it would be a perfect thing to come to the island and raid it. To that end, they send three large ships to the island.
