Dar Shaw's Plateau

Dar Shaw’s Plateau survived the Flood unscathed. The barbarian and shifter inhabitants would have liked to continue their isolationist lifestyle, but were constantly being bombarded with ships full of refugees, privateers, and pirates alike, seeking a home or momentary respite from the endless sea. Some would try to trade commodities with the barbarians, and some would try to invade by force. None were successful in their attempts. The barbarians would take the women and goods from those who laid siege to them, setting fire to the ships and sending them into the waters to serve as a warning to those who dared approach their shores.

More people would always come. It has been said that regardless of where you were heading, if your course took you anywhere near Dar Shaw you would end up wrecked on its banks. Some unnatural force would shift the winds, create a storm, or change the tide to pull you toward the plateau.

Dar Shaw’s peoples live purely off the land and do not rely on imports of any sort. They, in fact, shun outsiders. The people native to Dar Shaw are medium to dark-skinned, as the plateau’s terrain is mostly grassland with the occasional squat tree. The dwellings are made from mud and straw with thatched roofs.

Population: A mix of primitive Barbarians and Shifters. Approximately 70,00 people call the plateau home.
