The Alcyone Islands (pronounced all-SIGH-oh-nee) are an archipelago in the western Phiora Sea. Though nominally under Izgreve control, the islands are largely populated by the strongly independent Wind-Borne orcs.
Relatively little grows on the rocky and windswept islands aside from short grasses and shrubs; the few trees to be found were all planted there intentionally. The number of islands in the archipelago is a matter of some debate, depending on where one draws the line on what separates an island from a rock jutting out of the sea. By any count there are roughly half a dozen large islands and twice that many smaller isles, along with innumerable tiny outcroppings.
