The Shattered Teeth
Few sail into the dangerous waters southeast of Tal’Dorei, past the ever-present fog bank called the Fool’s Curtain, and into the Shattered Teeth. This cluster of broken lands is made up of forty-three islands, varying in size from small, mile-wide reef-toppers to the large, city-holding isles like Ruukva. Two societies dwell within the Shattered
Teeth. The first is the Ossended Host, a vast fishing culture that values their independence—even to the point of isolationism—and self-empowerment through the worship of the power of dreams and nightmares. The second is the Wanderman Assembly, a centuries-old trade company that, upon being stranded across the Shattered Teeth after losing their way in a typhoon, grew into a brutal, ruthless society dedicated to gaining profit at all costs. It
masquerades poorly under the banner of honor and brotherhood.
This tension has led to bloodshed in recent years, and each group is paranoid that the other is bent on destroying their way of life. What brims beneath the surface of this conflict is the nature and source of the dreams the Ossended Host have been harnessing for generations, and what that an-struggles of the people of the Shattered Teeth.
