Not far off the routes are the Chokecherry islands. They are rarely visited except to resupply along the voyage, or by the smaller traders that ply the routes – the settlements here don’t really qualify as cities to most traders.There are five islands in close proximity in the chain. “The Twins” to the north, a pair of smaller islands with no established names (they just appear as “Chokecherry Islands” on most charts and maps, although the locals call the smallest jungle-covered island “rot grub island”), and the southern island which is usually called “Mossport” even though that town is the smallest settlement on the islands.The islands were once home to a major trading empire whose ships plied the oceans in all directions. But all that remains of those days are ruins of ancient cities, some sinking into the swamps, others crumbling into the ocean, and the Pale City using maybe five percent of the old buildings that predate it.Ship traffic usually avoids the northern of the twin islands, skirting around the desolate “Pale City” for one of the friendlier towns of Crown Port, Mossport, or River Town. The latter of these is the biggest settlement on the islands, and is built on the edge of what was once a citadel for giants. The Giant’s Tor stands as a backdrop to the town with its Brobdingnagian structures, and the river is bridged by a massive stone bridge that once held the traffic of giant feet over the river. All that remains of the giants is a small enclave of degenerate hill giants on the volcanic island across the bay.I’ve also included a version of the map with notation about the sites to be explored or avoided for intrepid adventurers and merchants.[ATTACH=full]389537[/ATTACH][URL unfurl="true"]https://dysonlogos.blog/2024/12/18/the-chokecherry-islands/[/URL]</blockquote>
