The Vanishing Archipelago is a cluster of eight islands in the southern Wounds that disappear and reappear unpredictably yet always at the same locations. Explorers and adventurers have reported there seems to be nothing immediately unusual about islands - much like most others of the Wounds, they are volcanic in origin and covered in tropical flora and fauna. Yet on uneven intervals they dematerialize without leaving behind so much as a void for the surrounding sea to fill - when they fade out of existence, it as if they were never there to begin with.
Despite many attempts, none know where the Vanishing Archipelago goes. None who have remained on the islands have never returned upon the archipelago's reappearance, and neither have any magical means of inquiry been successful. The Fanakara, Keleta-Ru, and Angareza, all peoples who pass through waters around the Vanishing Archipelago, all hold strong prohibitions against making landfall upon them.
