A lane of treacherous currents and a dense wall of colorful coral make Castaway Point an isolated port. Trade vessels that sail the Azur Gulf are occasionally thrown off course and into these pre- carious waters, usually attributed to the Throne of the Easterlies. Vibrant reefs can destroy even the sturdiest hulls, dooming crews to the deep. Nature sometimes shows a chaotic kind of mercy, though; the same currents that shred a boat will safely carry sailors to Castaway Point’s quiet beach.
This little city holds a unique secret: a population of murine rats who never left Arneria. The people of Castaway Point refuse to be completely isolated, and have a stubborn rescue tradition. Navigation out to sea is difficult, but not impossible. Skilled, brave sailors weave between the reefs on nimble craft inspired by Al’ari designs. These “Sea Rats” carry rescued sailors back home, and sometimes wander west to become pirates or delvers.
