 ==== Finaroka ====
-The whole island chain is claimed by The Finaroka Company.  It is a small chain of volcanic island (which may still have the occasional eruption) - most of the islands have a central peak, with forested slopes, and a very fertile coastal area.  The weather is warm to hot, and rains on the mountain run down to give an almost continuous growing season, some plants can be harvested year round, many others have two growing seasons per year.  However, it is patchy, and the fertile coastal areas interspersed with barren stretches, often made of volcanic rock.  While many of those have 'bad land' plants growing on them, they provide a cheap source of building material - although there are still the normal 'bad land' denizens and hazards to deal with.
+Finaroka is an offshore island group, barely colonized, with one large town, that serves as the region's capital and trade hub.  Its development has been helped by the discovery of ++Drai Shon|(Another adventuring area under development)++ and a small amount of local trade. As the regional trade centre, they deal with vessels from Hann and Sakar, although the vast majority of their trade comes via the Razardi Isles.  A few of the islands have farming and agricultural settlements, but none of the islands (including Finaroka) have been properly cleared, and there are other islands that have not yet been touched.  ++DM Note|(It could be a good region for very low level adventures for new PCs)++

+The Governor has her capital, Finaroka Town, on the one cleared island, which also boasts several small agricultural villages.  None of the other islands have been cleared properly, and are unoccupied.

 Upland mountain slopes are home to various humanoid tribes, most of which are hostile, and who almost anything might make their home on the peaks?   The undeveloped coastal areas are home to secretive Wen tribes, kobolds and golblins.

 ==== Croston ====
+Croston, was the first mainland settlement, set in the delta of the Mulcroft river.  They trade with the humanoid tribes of the delta, and deal with raids by local swamp Orcs, the more distant Fjord Orcs, and occasional pirates.  Claimed by an adventuring group called Golden Dawn, Croston considers itself to be a semi-independent colony under the aegis of the Governor of Finaroka.

 ==== Ozgryn ====
+Ozgryn, is a mining town, although it barely developed, with just a palisade wall with a few buildings inside.  It exports both metals and minor gems and imports almost everything else, which leaves it in a fairly precarious position.  It will trade with anyone, including interior tribals/humanoids or directly with Sakharan traders.  However, it looks to the Governor of Finaroka for leadership protection and supplies.  However, while the leaders will say otherwise in public, the Governor's Writ doesn't always take precedence here.
 {{ :consolidated:finaroka:ozgryn.png?100|}} [[Ozgryn]] is a small mining settlements, the latest mainland developments initiated from Finaroka.  However, it isn't seen (by the powers that be) to have a lot of potential, although it supplies much of the iron that the Finaroka / Croston colony needs.  However, it is a solidly built village, with little access to wood.  It is only about a quarter of a mile from the sea and a road leads directly to a small stone built jetty.
