From the introduction Albiele Island is a haven to some of the worst scum to ever sail an ocean. Pirates, smugglers, slavers and similar sorts all use the island as a convenient place from which to ply their trades throughout the seas of southern Anuire. The island is slightly over 50 miles long and varies from 6 to 25 miles in width. Albiele Island is in fact one of the few pieces of the once mighty Deismaar range not swallowed by the Straits of Aerele. The western end of the island is heavily wooded. A low range of hills extends down the centre of the island for most of its length. Steep cliffs protect a small, natural harbour which is the home of the thriving Albiele Town. Sparse plains and empty beaches make up the rest of the island’s geography. Each of the areas of the island is presented in more detail below.
