'''The Gulfithorp Isles''' (also called '''The Pepper Isles''') are an archipelago region of the continent of [[Amusa]]. The grouping of five islands lies off the northeast coast of the continent and borders the region of [[Troverth]]. Gulfithorp’s name roughly translates to “whirlpool dwellings” due to the chaotic seas that span the inlets between the islands and slam the coasts of Amusa and the nearby continent of [[Levinkan]]. While the archipelago is named for the seas, the individual islands’ names are derived from their main export: crops that most closely resemble “peppers.” | '''The Gulfithorp Isles''' (also called '''The Pepper Isles''') are an archipelago region of the continent of [[Amusa]].

The largest of the islands is | The largest of the islands is Capsicum, the southernmost isle and home to the region’s capital city of Scoville. The northernmost island—second-largest after Capsicum—is Dorsetnaga. Its position at the northwest edge of the archipelago means it bears the brunt of the seas’ wrath. Thus, it is the most sparsely inhabited of the five islands. The three smaller islands that lie between Dorsetnaga to the north and Capsicum to the south are known collectively as the “Devil’s Tongues.” Their names, from west to east, are: '''Jolokiana''', '''Morugana''', and '''Doparana'''. | ||

The climate of each of the islands is very similar: windy battered coasts with cliff towns form the outer rim of each island, but those cliffs quickly drop down into lush valleys where the major exported pepper-like crops tend to grow. | The climate of each of the islands is very similar: windy battered coasts with cliff towns form the outer rim of each island, but those cliffs quickly drop down into lush valleys where the major exported pepper-like crops tend to grow. | ||

The region’s “capital city” of Scoville is really only a capital in name—it is simply the largest urban center on any of the islands, and thus where most of the trade and interaction with beings from other parts of the realm occurs. | The region’s “capital city” of Scoville is really only a capital in name—it is simply the largest urban center on any of the islands, and thus where most of the trade and interaction with beings from other parts of the realm occurs. | ||
