I've got a question
Since the release of "Tomb of Annihilation"
every time I've looked at the map, I've gotten
more and more curious what lies on the
close-by islands of Dawn Warrior, the Ssan,
and the Mother-of-Mists#DungeonsAndDragons@ChrisPerkinsDnD@TheEdVerse#DnD5E#DnD pic.twitter.com/ZWnfuApMKd— MadHatterHimself (@Madhatterhim) February 1, 2018
WF1) Sure! Named for the fins of a whale that catch watcher’s eyes when it lunges high half-out of the waters (sporting), the Flukes are a maze of small islets and “wash rocks” (rocks that JUST break the surface and so are “awash”) that are mainly home to seals and seabirds.

WF2) The Flukes have claimed many ships over the years, and their wrecks lie thick in the shallows, which teem with fish, shellfish, sharks, and sea-turtles. Like Mother-of-Mists, the Flukes are volcanic in origin, and undersea vents warm them and their waters; a handful of…

The resources you listed the islands having available also just doesn’t

Thanks for the talk.
I believe that concludes what I was curious about,
