Nemessor
This island has a freshwater spring, groves of fruit trees, and hills that shelter the settlement and docks from the sea winds. This island could support an independent colony, though the swift winds and currents of the Race make its harbor difficult to enter. It has another of the Sea Towers, which rests on a 100-foot cliff on the northeast face of the island. Only the children of Nemessor enter the tower, for fun.
What Locals Know: The caves beneath Nemessor lead deep into the earth, and clan members enter them during the summer's worst storms. Many ruined stone walls have been found on the island, indicating an earlier colony was once here.
Rumors: The magical lights are the defenses the Shoon wizard-emperors put around their treasure; they might also be ghosts or will o wisps. There could be Shoon riches buried all over the island.
Black Skull Cove: This small community huddles in a central dell, sheltered from the sea winds by hills on both sides near the eastern half of the island. The Black Skull clan includes 600-900 individuals, of which 200 are pirates by trade. The community was started nearly 75 years ago by escaped slaves, shipwrecked corsairs, and political prisoners and exiles from Calimshan and Tethyr. The Black Skull pirates are among the most skilled sailors and navigators among the bands of the Nelanther.
