Red Rocks

The Red Rocks was an archipelago found on the Sea of Swords, directly off the Sword Coast North.

Description
The hundreds upon hundreds of small, wave-eroded columns and boulders that extended above just above sea level.

Geography
They were located off the northern stretch of the Sword Coast, approximately equidistant between the metropolis of Waterdeep to the south, and Leilon to the north.

Flora & Fauna
The waters around the rocky islets were home to a diverse population of fish that thrived in part from the lack of fishing activity throughout the area.

History
Throughout the years, the Red Rocks were responsible for the sinking of countless ships. Most sailors and fishers sailed well wide of their location.

As of the 1370s DR, the waters around the Red Rocks were said to always change and fluctuate, possibly due to the ever-present field of wild magic that blanketed the area.

About a year before the set of rules that governed the various giants races known as the Ordning was abolished, circa 1485 DR, the corpse of the storm giant Queen Neri was discovered amongst the Red Rocks by Imperator Uthor. The queen's death was greatly upsetting to the royal storm giant family, especially King Hekaton, and set in motion a series of events that altered the giant populations of the North.

Rumors & Legends
One of the isles of the Red Rocks had a small cave that housed the treasure of the famous Sword Coast pirate, Captain Silbarr Snake-Eyes.
