Darktow Isle

Darktow Isle is an island located in the Swavain Islands off the southwestern coast of Wildemount. It is the home of The Revelry, and under the rule of Plank King Wyatt Marinos.

Description
The waters of Darktow Isle are dominated by the dragshallow reefs, shallow waters marked by the wreckage of ships and gathered drift wood. To its southwest is a channel leading north used by ships to navigate towards the main island of Darktow itself. Much of the route through this area seems to have been reinforced purposely by the wreckage with watchtowers and siege weaponry positioned on more stable terrain within the reef guarding against any potential assault by sea.

Unlike most of the tropical islands of the area, the main island of Darktow Isle resembles little more than huge jagged cliff faces raised multiple hundreds of feet from the waters of its coast. Around the base of these cliffs is a string of tangled docks used by the many ships of The Revelry. Torch lights mark the interconnecting routes through the docks to the streets and buildings of the city that are built into the very cliff face itself.

Society
Darktow Isle is ruled by the Plank King. Currently, the Plank King is Wyatt Marinos. The previous Plank King was killed around 15 years prior to the Mighty Nein's arrival to the island.

Locations

 * Dragshallow Reefs: shallow reefs that surround Darktow Isle with a tangled graveyard of destroyed ships and gathered driftwood marking the shallow spots across this jagged cluster of reef.
 * Sundry Square: The market area of Darktow where commercial goods and pirated contraband are sold.
 * The Bloated Cup: A rowdy tavern located near the docks, popular with the pirates of the Island.
 * The Throne Roost: lair and seat of power of The Plank King's, set high in the cliffs of Darktow.

Background
The island presently known as Darktow Isle was formerly under the rule and jurisdiction of the Clovis Concord. The island was an important repair and stopping station from the Menagerie Coast for long-distance shipping. At some point in time, there was a dispute between the heads of the trading guilds with the Clovis Concord, the latter heavily and repeatedly overtaxing smaller shipping businesses in an attempt to close them out of the business and own all the means of shipping in the region. In frustration and retaliation, the guilds banded together and ransacked the isle. The Clovis Concord has not attempted to retake Darktow Isle for the past 40 years.
