Bloodtide Coast

The **Bloodtide Coast** is the region of Janthir situated east of the Dorgan Ocean. The term is also used politically for the confederation of city-states on the coast as well as the Puralt Islands. The region thrives on open trade and cultural freedom. The confederation is a loose agreement among the Marquis's of each city to have a standard set of laws and guards. Otherwise, the cities are left to their own devices.

## Geography

The Verdant Fields lie northeast of the Bloodtide Coast. The Dorgan Ocean borders east. Most of the coast is sandy beaches. Some bogs and swamps exist to the northern side by Toadmire. The Maguuma Jungle lies immediately west. Along the southern shores are treacherous, rocky cliffs with lots of chasms and waterfalls. Strange magical energies exist in this southern part.

### Puralt Islands

An archipelago east of the Bloodtide Coast, the Puralt Islands are jointly controlled by Port Revon and Port Dantos.

### Coastal Settlements

* Port Revon

Port Revon is the largest of the city-states on the Bloodtide Coast, being the major hub of trade between Janthir and Elon’kar. They are known for the massive guard drakes they ride upon.

* Port Dantos

Port Dantos is the second largest city-state and southernmost on the Bloodtide Coast.

* Toadmire

Toadmire is a small city on the way from the Verdant Fields to the Bloodtide Coast. A black-market city, travelers prefer to pass along through quickly lest get caught up with unsavory characters. The city is most known for its powerful toxins that it extracts from the toads that live in the surrounding swamps.

* Morotel

Morotel is a slightly larger city than Toadmire. In the last decade, a gold mine was discovered not too far off from the small town which led to a boom in population. The city has been doing its best to keep up with the influx of people looking to work in the mines.

## Environment

The temperature is warm but experiences cool patches due to being next to the ocean and sea storms. Sunsets over the ocean look red, almost blood-like. This is due to a unique red kelp that grows under the oceans. The closer you get to the jungle and the more south you go, the more humid it gets.

## Society

All races mingle in this region. The economy is built on trade and fishing. There is a loose guard throughout the city but also piracy and thievery are common. It’s the kind of guard who would look the other way if paid the right amount.

Cedric Spearing is from an orphanage in Port Revon and Dingby lives in Toadmire with his family.

A lot of citizens rely on trade to make a living. The Red Wave Trading Company is the most prominent sailing faction in the Dorgan Ocean and often brings items to the coast to trade.

## History

It is general knowledge that settlements along the Bloodtide Coast have existed for close to a thousand years, before the Calamity. After the war of the gods, a lot of residents stayed as they saw potential in fishing and trading jungle resources. The coast was generally infested by pirates and smugglers as a heavy black-market trade arose. In the last hundred and fifty years or so, the cities along the coast formed a pact to crack down on piracy and becoming more civilized.
