Isoris Day 2: The Windwell Peninsula
Zone C1
Located firmly at 10º south of the equator, the Windwell Peninsula is decidedly tropical in climate. Regular typhoons and tropical storms batter the mangroves along its coasts, occasionally breaking sections off to form free-floating islands that wander the tropical sea to the west.
The peninsula forms the eastern border to the Ultramarine Expanse to the west, as well as the Sea of the Wandering Isles, where the displaced mangroves circle lazily, breaking apart and joining together in their own gentle dance.
Though the lush jungle of the Windwell Peninsula is full of bountiful resources, the frequent harsh weather makes it a difficult place to set up permanent residence. Because of this, it remains largely uninhabited save for a small population of aarakocra who find it unnecessary to build permanent shelter and so aren't as bothered by the wind.
The tall cliffs along narrow passages among the islands make for a popular trick-sailing course among the more young and daring residents of the city-state of Cartagan just to the southeast of the Peninsula. The unforested easternmost island of the Peninsula has served as a thrill-seeker's getaway for many decades.
However, even the boldest sailors avoid the innermost depths of the forest. 15-foot-tall skeletally-thin ape creatures stride deliberately through the twilight, long hooked arms ensnaring the unwary. Deadly raptors appear seemingly from nowhere, diving at impossible speeds to tear even humanoid-sized creatures to shreds. Paths wander and vanish, and the spirits of the trees play tricks on the eyes.
Best enjoyed from a nimble sailboat guided by a steady hand, the Windwell Peninsula offers a stunning paradise of soaring mountains, birds of all the colors of the rainbow and some that aren't, plunging waterfalls, crystal-clear bays and diamond-bright beaches, and enough sea breeze for a lifetime.
