Sunken Isles

The tortles say a great deal of things, and it can be difficult to parse truth from fiction. One of the things they say is that in the weeks leading to shadowfall the waters around their ancestral homes began to rise. Little by little their homes were being destroyed and they were left to make a choice. Most of the tortles swam south, to the mainland. They travelled through the untamed forest and made a home among the people of New Meritta.

What remains of their home is now under the sea. Like carrion birds, adventurers press their luck to pick the bones of these great towns and cities where they have come to rest; in one of the most dangerous parts of the ocean around New Meritta. Still the thought of great riches left behind as the waters rose is a siren’s call for adventurers of all kind, but the tortles have declined any interest in ever returning to their old homes.
