Borinquen
By far the largest island in the group of islands near Seagate there are several deep harbors that cater to both merchants and those who skirt the rules in making their ways around the islands. With a hundred mile width there are more than 600 miles of coastline around Borinquen. The mountains in the center of the island have been known to have snow on their peaks. There are several deep water lakes that are feed by mountain streams and lead to rivers that drain away to the coasts. The southwestern coast line has steep cliffs while the eastern shoreline has wide sandy beaches and excellent deep sea fishing in the currents that sweep past.

The Rusty Pelican is a reputable inn on the southeastern corner of the island just off of the Bahia harbor. It is run by a retired halfling who was a paladin in the Mieszecz Group of islands. The Busty Pelican (large hanging sign of a pelican with a womans breasts) is a brothel a couple of blocks away.
On the northwest coast of the island is the large town of Achild with a small hamlet of Lemonshire to the west along the coast where some fisherpeople have established the messier fishworks. Up in the hills from Lemonshire the temple of Agowah controls over 5,000 acres of sugar cane fields. Pescal, Master of the sixth circle, eyesight of the fishhawk, friend of the sirens and explorer of the inky depths is the priest in charge of the temple. Achild has a small library controlled by an old mage, she is strict with who can borrow any materials, and would rather they sit in front of her and read so she can make sure that they are treating the materials with respect.
Eternal Pearl is a small thorp in the hills east of Lemonshire, known for their goats and the hair they gather from them. The goats and sheep are all marked with special colors to indicate which family they belong to for the shepherds to keep track.
A small island half a mile off of the coast from Achild is Aida. A small enclave there works hard to use the gifts of the sea as best they can.
Mixed in with the sugar cane plantations there are groves of carambola fruit that some of the priests have turned into a thriving wine trade.
