Menagerie Coast



The Menagerie Coast is the region of Wildemount situated west of the Cyrios Mountains and along the coast. The term is also used politically for the confederation of city-states on that southwestern coast of Wildemount and the Swavain Islands united under the Clovis Concord. The region thrives on open trade and cultural freedom. This confederation controls most of the long-distance imports and exports for the virtually land-locked Empire, as all maritime imports and exports must pass through the Coast's ports.

Swavain Islands

An archipelago southwest of the coast of Wildemount, the Swavain Islands are mostly controlled by the Clovis Concord out of the Menagerie Coast. Three key known exceptions to this generalization are:
 * Darktow Isle: headquarters of The Revelry.
 * Urukayxl: a jungle-covered isle, home to a ziggurat formerly dedicated to Uk'otoa and ruled by warring factions of lizard-men and serpent-folk.
 * Rumblecusp: an isolated, sparsely-populated volcanic island

Quoraska Jungle

The Quoraska Jungle is a dense forest located between Nicodranas and the Ashkeeper Peaks.

Coastal Settlements

 * Nicodranas: a major port city about half the size of Port Damali under the control of the Clovis Concord, with the exception of the Open Quay district owned by Yussa Errenis.
 * Port Damali: the largest and westernmost of the city-states a major hub of trade between all the western bits of civilization including Tal'Dorei, Marquet and Issylra.
 * Port Zoon:  a coastal city northwest of Nicodranas.
 * Feolinn: The wine city.
 * Gwardan: The elves of Gwardan originated from Marquet long ago.
 * Othe: the smallest Clovis Concord city-state with unique plant life.
 * Tussoa: a frontier city along the Tyodan River.

Fauna

 * Sea gulls
 * Sand crabs
 * Bioluminescent jellyfish

Culture

 * Merchants of import, such as those present for the Victory Pit tournament in Zadash, wore silks, billowing pants, and jewelry consisting of many finger chains attached to rings. The style shares a visual aesthetic to that of classical Europe.
 * Cities in the Menagerie Coast mint special gold coins called "galleys".
