~ Barrier Guidelines/Setting ~
This section is primarily OOC, as it is the easiest way to explain the restrictions and guidelines that are in place for Iles De Brume. Please read this section fully before attempting to interact in or around the Islands in the Mist.
Iles De Brume is a chain of islands that form a large circular barrier around a collection of inner islands.
The barrier islands shift over short periods of time, making it impossible to accurately chart their locations.
There are only three known entrances to the inner islands and those are known only to a handful of select pilots, with no one pilot knowing more than a single path through the barrier islands.
Each ship that wishes to enter the islands must be guided through one of these passages by one of the pilots.
No other entry is possible into the islands, by magical or any other means.
Only ships smaller than or equal to the size of a schooner can pass through to the inner islands.
Larger ships must offload their cargo at the outer port and have it transported to the inner islands via one of Nouvelle Aube's transport vessels.
There is a mythical "mythal" that surrounds the islands, preventing entry through the barrier by any means of magic.
Non-magical means of trying to bring a ship through the islands will result in tragedy due to the uncharted and undetectable reefs and shoals in the area.
The barrier islands are the ultimate in defense. Any attempt to pass through them from the outside, by any means, will send the person and/or vessel into unknown danger in the fog that encompasses the islands.
When in doubt as to what you can and cannot do to get into the islands... ASK!
