The Angry Kings are an archipelago in the Wounds known for their very active volcanoes.
Geography
The volcanoes of the Angry Kings continue to erupt with great regularity, and many of the smaller islands are comparatively very recently formed, with active lava flows where no plants or animals have yet managed to gain permanent footholds. The larger western islands are older and taller, their mountain peaks rising high above the surrounding waves, though even then they are prone to sudden eruptions. As with the rest of the Wounds, the Angry Kings have a tropical climate with little seasonal variation in temperature, though with distinct wet and dry seasons.
The Angry Kings are roughly 450 miles south of the Grievous Islands, 450 miles east of the Wisps, and 1300 miles west of the Salt Spring Archipelago.
Inhabitants
Various Fanakara tribes account for most of the population of the Angry Kings - its inhabitants are primarily human, though joined by quite a few gnomes from the Keleta-Ru as well and some dwarves hailing from Harv Taruhm in the north. In the nearby Itzazoa Reef many Itothani locathah villages and cities can be found as well.
Compared to elsewhere in the Wounds, the Fanakara living on the Angry Kings tend to be more sedentary in nature, such as the Sehi-To in their fortified mountainside villages.
Notable settlements on the Angry Kings include the following:

Etymology
The origin of the name of the archipelago is a matter of dispute. Some claim it refers to the active volcanoes, though none of the followers of the Beating Heart, the majority faith of the Angry Kings, would refer to the injuries in their earth-god as such. Others, meanwhile, believe it refers to the cultural practices of certain Fanakara groups living on the archipelago, who are more militant and hierarchical than most others around the Wounds.
