Gold Sea

Warm and tropical, Ugarit's **Gold Sea** is a heart of colonial and pirate activity alike.

## Inhabitants

The known islands of the Gold Sea are populated almost entirely by Humans. These Humans consist both of the dark skinned natives who have lived here since times immemorial and the more recently arrived colonists from Agenor.

Beneath the waves, the southwest of the Gold Sea is dominated by Sahuagin, while Merfolk settlements can be found elsewhere under the sea.

Lusca, a legendary sea monster, is said to dwell somewhere around Andrew's Island.

## Culture and Society

Five of Ugarit's most infamous ghost ships are said to haunt the Gold Sea's waters.

### **Piracy**

## Geography

The prevailing winds of the Gold Sea blow from the east towards the west.

### **Andrew's Island**

The most northwestern of the Gold Sea's known islands, the somewhat mysterious **Andrew's Island** is known for its pirate port.

### **Ayiti Archipelago**

#### **Latoti**

The tiny island of **Latoti** is, despite its size, known throughout Ugarit for being one of, if not the, most important pirate ports in the world.

### **Caparra**

The eastermost of the Gold Sea's settled islands, Caparra is a colony of Pamplona and sports a beautiful landscape of green mountains, tropical rainforests, and white-sand beaches.

### **Cuevas del Fuego**

A larger island, **Cuevas del Fuego** is recognizable from distance by its towering black-plumed volcano. The island once sported two Pamplonan colonies, but one has since fallen to the scourge of Undeath.

### **Cutthroat Island**

South of D'oley is the unexplored, at least by colonial powers, **Cutthroat Island**.

### **D'Oley**

One of the sea's larger islands, **D'oley** sports a lush and tropical topography of mountains, rainforests, and reef-lined beaches. The island's colony of Queenston is a regional capital of sorts for Locrinus.

### **Isla Rina**

The small **Isla Rina**, west of D'Oley, is home to Rina Ciudad, a somewhat infamous colony of Locrinus that is generally welcoming of pirates and other criminals provided they not start any trouble while in town.

### **La Evangelista**

At 780 miles in length, the island of **La Evangelista** is the largest landmass in all the Gold Sea. The island, which consists mostly of flat and rolling plains, has been claimed by Pamplona and hosts two colonial settlements.

### **Queenshead**

The island of **Queenshead** is little more than a large rock atop which rests a fortress of the South Seas Trading Company.

### **Tesoro**

A tiny island southwest of Caparra, **Tesoro** is notable only for the small Pamplonan colony of Puerto Dorado.
