Editing SOTDL: Setting (section)

==Inner Isles==
The Inner Isles is a small archipelago very near to the salt coast. Many barely habitable rocks jut from the sea within the confines of the main body of islands, but five major isles are large enough with fertile land, fresh water, and resources to sustain life year 'round.

:'''Rift:''' The northernmost and second smallest of the five, Rift is a craggy place with little more than hardy scrub grasses to recommend it. The primary occupants are goat herders and their herds.

:'''Rune:''' Like Rift, Rune is extremely craggy and rocky, but it has better vegetation and great plateaus where larger cattle can be raised and farming done. There is some evidence that Giants once inhabited Rune.

:'''Horne:''' The bulk of Horne is taken up by a dormant volcano that itself is draped in dense jungle. The Osprey Menhir stands in the heart of the empty crater.

:'''Ka:''' Ka has the honor of being the smallest of the five. As on all the isles, fisher villages surround the island's beaches and coves, but inland is the largest tanning and dying operation anywhere in the salt coast.

:'''Ja'an:''' idyllic and tropical, Ja'an is lush with fruit trees and fibrous vegitation that can be harvested for rope and nets.

===Menhir===
:'''Osprey:''' This menhir stands directly in the center of the crater of a dormant volcano at the heart of Horne isle.

===Settlements===
:'''Whitecove:''' A major fishing village and seaport on the east coast of Rune.

:'''Channel:''' A major fishing village and seaport on the west coast of Rune.

:'''Climbtown:''' A base camp turned town halfway up Horne's Volcano for the purpose of climbing to the summit and descending to study the Osprey menhir.

:'''Lack:''' A string of fishing villages on the southern coast of Ja'an that is now a leper colony.
