The Hespet Archipelago is a chain of 12 islands[1] in the Ozmit Sea, southwest of Tal'Dorei in the general direction of Marquet.[2] It is a sanctuary for fugitives and criminals.[3]

Society[]

Eighteen pirate companies, one of which is named Tempest Fang, inhabit the Hespet Archipelago. Some of these companies are allied, some are rivals.[4]

The archipelago has a reputation for being a dangerous place to go unguarded: one may end up dead or enslaved.[5]

Geography[]

The region is known for its geothermal and sub-volcanic activity. Because of this, volcanic activity is the likely progenitor of this island chain.[6] The islands are many miles apart and vary widely in size.[7]

At maximum speed, an airship is expected to be able to travel from Ank'Harel to one of the southern isles of the archipelago in two or three days, depending on weather.[8] With Keyleth controlling the weather for several hours, the ship completed the trip in less than 24 hours.[9]

The Hespet Archipelago is not too far from the Islands of Anamn.[10]

Glintshore[]

Main article: Glintshore.

The isle lies in the southern part of the Archipelago. It is covered in glass,[11] and most of the vegetation on the island has been burned away.[12]
