The Homunculus Isles are a five island archipelago in the Rincefire Ocean. First discovered during the great age of discovery, the islands have been since colonised by all nations of settlers from the mainland.
Pedalast is the easternmost island. A narrow, largely sandy isle that's home to various species of indigenous lizards and the Halflings in the floating homestead of Flinia.
Pyarnas is a long island, largely covered with dense jungle. Many Druids stay in the jungles to catalogue all that lives there, and defend it from the Orc and Gnoll tribes that live on the island.
Honde is the smallest island. Comprised largely of steep, jagged cliffs, and stone stacks off the coast resembling fingers. Under the control of the King of Heartbeats, it is the site of Tenaci, the Honden Jail.
Cardios is the largest island. A wide landscape with mountains to the west, near the neck gulf, open Savannah and grasslands. At the north and south are the twin cities Aorta and Acromion, situated on the island's north and south coasts, joined by The Great Vein road. Smaller settlements across the island include Suopik, Ghewith, and Stahlkür. Atop the Stahlken mountains, is the ancient monastery named the Death Watcher Rookery, who's acolytes worship The Grey Lady and spread her messages.
Stromcliff is a small island just south of Acromion. A very small rock, that can be circled in just under an hour, it is the location of The Stromcliff School of Meteomancy.
Visla is the westernmost island of the chain. It is separated by a short stretch of water from Cardios called the Neck Gulf, showing the natural place where the islands separated between the Stahlken mountains and Lod Fretruad (Turgord Dwarvish: The Features). Inside The Features is Dhrug, the Renegade Township. In the northwest of the island is Oculus, The Hanging City.
The islands are governed independently, but the Lords of Oculus and King of Heartbeats have accords to discuss the other islands at least once a year.
