The Confederacy of Sandobar is a small group of islands in the southern edge of the archipeligo. It consists of 4 islands:
- Fortuna
- Dos Tequis
- Del Tosca
- Saltorum
Each island is ruled by a council of elders, and these elders select an overall executive to negotiate on behalf of the Confederacy. The executive has precious little power, however, and is limited severely by the island councils.
The population of the Confederacy is made up of a mix of the various races. Many who are considered social outcasts or failures on the other islands travel to the Confederacy to start their lives over. There is even a small contingent of Lizard Folk living on Del Tosca.
Fortuna is the largest island, with a population of around 15,000. It has a major port (La Tyval) through which most of the items traded to the islands passes. It's active volcano (Illa del Tubro) erupts frequently. There is a great deal of good farm and pasture land here, as well as a rather dense jungle on the windward side of the island.
Del Tosca is considered by many to be cursed. The largest city is on the southern coast (Aquilonia). Aquilonia is surrounded by many small villages and fishing communities, but to the north, a great swamp covers half of the island. There are rumors of an ancient city lost deep in the swamp, filled with wonders and horrible monsters.
Saltorum, the smallest of the islands, is surrounded by a reef, and it is extremely hazardous to visit. The population is somewhat xenophobic, but were forced into the Confederacy by political pressure from Fortuna. There is a sand bar off the western coast of the island where goods are traded. It is suggested that many of the occupants of Saltorum are engaged in less than legal business practices (PIRACY)!
Dos Tequis has 10,000 inhabitants, mostly in small villages and camps. It is rich in metals, but, mines dug into the ground tend to attract the attention of orcs and goblins. There is always honest work for adventurers, and an abundance of weaponry and armor like no other island in the Confederacy.
