Smuggler's Run (Quarrioc II)
Quarrioc
Not all who lurk within the Coastal Cave of Quarrioc are peaceable hermits who fled from society to the comforts of isolation. Sinister elements can also be found within their own rogue’s gallery by the roiling sea. Illicit goods of all forms, destined for the seedier parts of the city of Barnacle, are transported ashore within several of Quarrioc’s caverns. Members of the town watch rarely venture so far as to enter into this cerulean underworld between the sea, surf, and sky. Those that do don’t always return…

Whether tempestuous or tranquil, the seas of the Southern coast of Haven Isle hold a bounty of knowledge for those who would listen. Tales are told on the wind of ages come and gone, of mighty empires risen and fallen, and of the flora and fauna who dwell in their myriads upon the shores and in the caves.

Mirrormourn, a fantasy setting by Esper the Bard, is a world of mysteries, an inversion of many common tropes, and a land in motion. Old wars between elves and giants flare up again, with the giants' dwarven thralls and the elves' goblin allies caught in the fray. Despite this, the land, at its roots, is wild and its natural forces and old gods cannot be truly resisted. Thus is the state in which exists the southern coast of Haven Isle, the Cavernous Coast whose tales are told in this tome.
