Fort Firemoth

Firemoth is a region encompassing a ring of barren islands located in the Inner Sea. The islands often suffer heavy storms, and the bare volcanic rock provides little nourishment for flora. Hardy trama shrubs and stark, leafless trees can survive the ashen, bitter soil, and marshmerrow reeds flourish along the sandy beaches, but otherwise the islands are devoid of life.

The main island houses the ruins of Fort Firemoth. Once a strategic strong point guarding the Inner Sea from smugglers, it was overrun when an undead army led by the lich Grurn marched out of the ocean and captured the garrison, leaving few survivors. While still technically Imperial territory, the islands are still occupied by the skeleton army and have never been reclaimed. The fort was built on top of a rich ebony mine, which broke through into flooded natural caverns and an ancient Velothi tomb.

In 3E 427 a band of adventures hired by the Imperial Legion set sail for Firemoth from Seyda Neen, infiltrated the ruins, slew Grurn and retrieved the Ward of Akavir, a precious enchanted shield.
