Wisps

The Wisps are an archipelago in the Wounds and the southwestern-most of the major island chains.

Geography

Spread across almost 700 miles, the Wisps include islands both large and small. As with the rest of the Wounds, the Wisps have a tropical climate with little seasonal variation in temperature, though with distinct wet and dry seasons. In the southwest are the Ghosts, a series of islands and islets that are shrouded by mists that descend almost every night. The islands of the northeast are much larger, on the whole, and far more mountainous, though their volcanic peaks now lie largely dormant.

The Wisps are the second largest archipelago of the Wounds by land area, behind only the Grievous Islands.

The Wisps are roughly 450 miles west of the Angry Kings, 450 miles southwest of the Grievous Islands, and 770 miles south of Cerca.

Inhabitants

The Fanakara and Keleta-Ru tribes inhabit the Wisps in roughly equal numbers, joined by some dwarves who left Harv Taruhm long ago. Compared to most other archipelagoes of the Wounds, there is not a particularly large aquatic population in the surrounding waters, with the Itothani locathah village of Xakul the only notable settlement under the nearby seas.

Though often in the crosshairs of the ambitions of others - whether that be from Rashareka, Harv Taruhm, or even raiders from the Xitaxokhu sahuagin - the peoples of the Wisps have historically maintained their independence to the greatest degree possible. Hidden subterranean fortresses carved out of the volcanic rock can be uncovered throughout the islands, retreated to in times of external threat and diligently maintained even in times of peace.
