The Isle of Brokenbank is a narrow strip of land some 80 miles long and 25 miles at its widest point. Prior to the coming of Marquesian trade ships it was an unspoiled wilderness. Attempts at taming the dense jungles have been met with what is locally termed "Melora's Rage" wherein natural and supernatural beasts rise up to defend the Wild Mother's claim to the island, most famously in the genocide of Shake's Folly. Wiser folk settled the Brokenbank Port, limiting their impact to fishing and trade, and their existence has been somewhat more harmonious.

Port Brokenbank
Sheltered in the lee of a natural isthmus, Port Brokenbank is protected from some of the harsher swells of the Inner Sea and the Spine of Brokenbank holds off the "Summer Winds", a season of brutal hurricanes from the south. Two curtain walls of wooden guard the inner face of Brokenbank and no roads have been attempted for fear of raising the ire of the jungle.

Anohati'inewas
The name of the sister volcanoes of Brokenbank were learned from necromantic magic used on a primitive village destroyed by some ancient eruption. The remains have since been lost so further understanding of these lost souls is beyond our grasp but the scribe who discovered the village insisted the ancient names be used on maps rather than the embarrassing names recognized by foul mouthed sailors. Scholarly circles accept the translation as "The Serpent who is Hungry" but most justification has been spurious at best and it may be nothing more than a romantic fabrication.
By whatever name, this live volcano is capable of impressive and deadly eruptions and should be avoided without significant protections.
