It is ruled by the Merchant lord Aro Coranda, and he is his turn obeys the council in Cabân, his capital is the city of Turae, a fairly large city with 2.600 inhabitants.

The southern parts are uninhabited exept from possibly outlaws making their living there, there are also rumors about a Castle at the east side of the mountains, but the Castle and the legend of the Mountain Wizards are probably a rumor.

Arba

Arba is counted as a part of Peragi isle, it has a fort protecting the harbour of Cabân, and a small city, also named Arba with about 800 inhabitants. The isle is like the most other based on a volcano, since long silenced and cooled of.
The most important feature with Arba is the steel that is mined from the mountain, called simply Arba steel, it has a shiny blued color, is a bit brittle but can be made razorsharp [RM +10 edged weapons, half durability].

Black Isle

Legend tells that the isle is inhabited by a Evil Mage who died eons ago but still walk the isle, feeding on the life of the living and that he was one of H'thols generals in the Great Wars.

A rumor that also have spread a little is that this daemon general has great magical treasures stored since the time of the wars. A rumor that is likely to draw some attention from bold adventurers.

Caba Atolls

A real tropical paradise, many of the wealthy merchants and captains of Peragi has bought isles here, it is considered a status to own one, most isles are guarded by personal guards that have orders not to let anyone to the isles, nomatter what the cost.

It is protected from teh weather by other larger isles and is very sought after as a place to retire and a status symbol to own a isle here

Carrizal

A Small rugged Isle about 60 miles south of Cabân, it only have one small settlement, Veruga, 600 inh. that is a mining town, it is also the marking of the Northen part of the Zhalian Sea, a dead overgrown sea streaching from Carrizal to Draco Isle.

GM: Zahlian Sea can be compared to the saragossa sea but worse.

Carta

Drakes Isle

A dense tropical isle without any settlements, it is rumored to be a breeding place for the Dragons on the Sea's, it is avoided at all costs.

But there lives a colony of very large flying lizards, similar to Wyverns there, that are highly aggressive is their nests are approached.

Ignoss

Sorcerers Isle

Home of a small Settlement of Morâi. Not pirates like most of them instead they are a secret sorceror enclave.

Ignoss is one of the newest isles in the archipelago, very rocky with not much at all living there. The air are filled with sulfur from the many geysers on the isle, it is a very ugly place not of so much interest by any of the people living there.

The Morâi of Ignoss were sent there over 300 years ago, when the isle were still smoldering, they were criminals that had crossed their king and gods by invoking greater demons instead of their gods. There they should work for the other by creating spells and magic items to be used by the rest of the settlements.

During the centuries their sin was forgiven, now they serve the witch-king with unparalleled loyalty, gathering information by magical means about the things that happens around the isles. They are capable of seeing almost anything but a council strain the information gathered and passes what they consider important to the witch-king.

The isle is tightly watched so no intruders can land and survive the experience, over the years several human parties have tried to land but almost no one have ever survived. The few that have survived have been totally insane with fear, babbling about black eyeless demons with claws and jaws of steel that has ripped their shipmates to bits.

Ships sail around the isle nowadays its rumors about being haunted and tales of lost ships and crews is too much for even the toughest sailors.

Macoba

The only Dorcadian settlement in the Archipelago, it is basically a fortress, it's primary goal is to protect the Traders from the Peragian Pirates.
The city Coba, 1.200 inh. is Guarded by the Thorn Knights (that is explaining how imporant this base is) and a powerful city guard, to it's aid they have almost half the Dorcadian fleet, making it a very dangerous place to pass.

(GM's Only: One thing to wonder about is why, in spite of the naval power they are, there are very few ships captured from the peragians, are the pirates so afraid of the base that they go by it by so far that they cannot interfere or has it some other reason.
The Thorn Knights and many of the Guard-captains, are very well of, maybe a bit more than what they would with the salery they have, many also wield weapons of the finest Arba-Steel, a metal almost more expensive than gold on the main continent. ... Many are the rumors that circle around these proud knight, but all rumormakers are very careful not to be noticed.)

Mardi

Nevis

A forrested isle, only inhabited by a small community of people, the Town of Neray, with about 300 inhabitant, they are a peaceful community but have still been attacked by the Dorcadian neighbours, since they still belong to the Peragian Empire.
