Cape of the Claw

The Cape of the Claw, sometimes known as the Cape of Ashardalon, is a large peninsula that juts out into the northern reaches of the Southern Sea, from the southeastern part of the Central Continent. It curves inwards at its northern tip, extending almost to the Eastern Wastes, creating the Wyvern Sea to its west. Most of the peninsula is covered in forest, most of which composes the Goblinwoods. The Cherrapunji Mountains can be found at the base of the peninsula.
The Cape of the Claw received its name for two reasons- it is vaguely shaped like a claw, and it is primarily inhabited by Goblinoids. The Goblinoid city of Uurlgarsh lies on the northern tip of the peninsula, where the Wyvern Sea and the Sea of Stars meet. Among the Goblins of Uurlgarsh, the Dragon-Demon Ashardalon has recently come into prominence, and many have begun referring to the peninsula in his honor.
Piracy is a big concern around the waters of the Cape of the Claw. In the south, pirates from the Pirate Isles often sail north, preying on ships and making landfall on the cape before returning south. In the north, Goblinoids and other pirates have a history of interrupting trade between the Wyvern Sea and the Sea of Stars, in an area known as ‘The Dire Straits’, due to the danger the area has historically posed to sailors.
