Bakunawa Isles (bah-KUN-ah-wah Eye-ils)

The ring that the Bukana archipelago forms delineates an expanse of ocean known as the Sea of Skulls . At the heart of this sea are the Bakunawa Islands. Legend holds that after the great moon-eating serpent, the Bakunawa, was slain and cast down by the gods, its body formed these isles. Today, this is the most dangerous, vile place in all of Bukana. The barrier that separates the realm of mortals with the Shadowfell is virtually nonexistent here. So attuned to the forces of destruction are these islands, that undead and monstrosities freely pass from that plane of evil into the material world. Along the coast, there is a sinister port called Dalakit City. Built among the ever-spreading aerial roots of gigantic strangler figs, any impulse, no matter how base or how horrendous can be sated here. From their palaces high up in the branches of the parasitic trees, the Dalaketnon Bane Elves rule this domain. From the center of the main island of the Bakunawas rises the Blackspine Mountains. The inside of this range is riddled with the mines of the Sagay Blood Dwarves. These tunnels wind deeper and deeper until they are no longer wholly within the real world, so that the abyssal city of Heartblood stands simultaneously in our world and the Shadowfell.
