====== The Outer Islands ======

Unlike the larger islands, the Outer Islands are not dominated by a single race, but provide a home to an eclectic range of peoples.  While Goblins might be the dominant race on one island, others might be controlled by Kobolds, or have Neanderthals as the main race.   Most, however, have a number of different races, either living in harmony, or fighting endlessly for more space and better locations.



    * [[consolidated:draishon:paria:start|Paria]] -  An 'Open Port' at the mouth of river, below a Dwarf minehold on one of the outer islands.  It is multi-racial and in the middle of all this mess. Politics are a disjointed, but somehow it all hangs together. As an open port, ships from all nations are free to enter the port and trade - and Paria is the middle man for trade and the ransom/exchange of prisoners. Ships that don't follow the rules are banned from the port and may be attacked on sight.  It is, potentially, the base for a mixed race adventuring group.  For alignment think TN - but only because that is where CN and LN meet and where LE can live with CG -(there are probably slight LE  overtones but ...)
    * [[consolidated:draishon:Shangkong:start|Shangkong]] The Sinonese settlement town in the Drai Shon Archipelago, Shankong is a - Yellow Flag Port - and allows limited access to vessels from other groups who have signed and agreed The Accords. They do not allow access to Orcs, Hobgoblins or Pirates.

    * Free Town, the pirate settlement is believed to be in the outer islands -  little more than a shanty town, the pirates move it regularly.
