Orca Islands

The Orca Islands are a tropical archepelago located northwest of Dorthellond. Home to native tribes of fierce warriors, the Orcas were settled two centuries ago by West Corganan pioneers and have experienced a rapid advancement in technology and culture since these events- some more readily than others.
==Terrain & Climate==
The Orcas are divided into three islands. The northernmost one is called Cret'trat, and is the largest and most lush island. The island capitol city of Friday Harbor is located here. The middle island is called Yeth'trat and is home to mostly native tribes with the only major settlement being Echo Cove. The southernmost island is called Grig'trat is mostly unsettled and wild save for a few intrepid goblins from Dorthellond. It is said often in legend that the warrior god Tag cleaved the Orca Islands into three pieces long ago. 
The islands have a tropical climate, and are warm year-round. The temperature dips during the winter months, but snow never falls and the sun shines on no matter the season. These attributes make the Islands a popular destination for wealthy nobles on vacation. 
The waters of the Great Blue surrounding Orca offer a wide selection of seafood, but also carry the danger of tsunamis and flooding. The local tribes revere the Great Blue itself as a god, offering praise to it at the shores and seeking atonement when the ocean punishes them with storms. 
==Demographics==
The native Orcans are tall, imposing humans with dark skin and hair. Their warrior culture has declined over the centuries since the Corganan settlers arrived, but is still going strong on the island of Yeth'trat. Orcans are immensely strong and often become mercenaries in other nations or go on to compete as athletes in competitions such as the Reachlander Games. 
Since the mid-1200s OCA, the Islands have been under the control of Corgana. The influx of colonists brought with it the trappings of Corganan society, and many native Orcans enjoyed modern luxuries for the first time. However, the large number of Corganan nobles in the area drove up the cost of living, forcing many natives to leave the cities or the islands themselves entirely in order to survive.
