The Winding Isles are an archipelago of some three dozen scattered islands of varying sizes, many of which are inhabited by small tribes who subsist on fishing and kelp-gathering. The tribes lack a unifying government, but are generally peaceful, wary of strangers but willing to trade what little they have for baubles and valuables.
Due to their weakness compared to their neighbours, the tribes of the Winding Isles are frequent targets for raiders from nearby kingdoms (primarily Karathay, Murak, and Bushan), who seize food and slaves on a regular basis. The Guild also engages in trade with the islands, encouraging the various islet populations to capture and enslave each other in order to pay for tools, trinkets, and if all goes according to the plans of the factor in Karathay, drugs.
