Sootburrow

Originally a coastal mining settlement, Sootburrow has grown through slavery and prospecting to become the largest city in the Shattered Lands. It sits on on of the easternmost islands and serves as the first and southernmost step in the Golden Chain, a string of dozens of islands rich in precious metals. It also serves as an important rest spot and landmark for ships wishing to venture further into the treacherous Southern Shatter, usually via the Fourth Pass. Sootburrow has a low reputation, but has rapidly grown both in size and wealth in recent years.
