Diamond Beach Island This large island is verdant and wet, but its most remarkable feature is its beaches, which hold countless black and gray diamonds. Similar stones are found scattered in the area, but nowhere else in such a concentration. |

The Sentinel Rocks To the far east of the archipelago, these two barren rocks are far separate in latitude but at similar longitude to Eastwatch. As such, they are used for watch points and also make good first-betweening points. |

Green Sand Island - 1 Viewing An old and eroded volcanic island, in several areas of the shore, olivine deposits have eroded into green-dominated sands, as opposed to the black sand so common in volcanic areas. The island vegetation is tropical and lush, and nearly impassable. |

Hissing Mountain The reawaken volcano which once created Green Sand Island, this volcano is notable for the hissing steam it emits at all times, though in varying quantities. Occasionally, the volcano belches ash as well. |

Wheeling Island Named for the flocks of wheeling avians, this island is home to a magnificent white-and-black fisher-bird which rivals wherries in wingspan, though not mass. Due to thermals from the nearby volcano, it is a magnificent place for large creatures to soar and learn to fly. |

The Seven Sisters - 1 Viewing Covered with jungle vegetation, these islands have a type of tropical strangler-vine which grows in lattices up trees, eventually killing them but leaving the latticed outline in thick and woody vine. In some areas, the vines grow across narrow inlets between islands, connecting them incredibly securely. The large nut inside the edible green fruit contains a central compartment full of thick, whitish oil. There is very little current around the Seven Sisters, though offshore to both the east and west are powerful northerly currents. Animal life here is plentiful and very diverse. The most dangerous creature on them are tunnelsnakes, some of which are large enough to attack humans and very young dragons. |

Leviathan Point A long, low-lying jungle island, Leviathan Point stretches out into a long sandbar on which one can walk for dragonlengths. After that point, the seafloor plunges dramatically. From Leviathan Point, it is possible to see the largest creatures in the ocean passing along the narrow Leviathan Strait, from the Western to the Southern Ocean. |

Leviathan Strait A massively deep strait, the waters are deceptively still, belying the powerful and fickle currents churning the water. Enormous leviathans prowl these waters, particularly on their migrations. |

Liar's Rock - 1 Viewing Just across Leviathan Strait from Leviathan Point, this rock appears to be a solid landing ground. However, the shale of this island cracks and slips at the slightest pressure, making landing all but impossible. |

Catspaw Atoll From above, this atoll looks like a paw print of land in the blue of the ocean. Once a volcanic island, the land has been sculpted both by the sinking of the volcano into the sea and by the northward sweep of the current here. The coral atoll surrounds a clear lagoon, and the island itself is a tropical paradise of sand, tall fronded trees, and fern-swathed springs. |

The Fingerlings These two islands are impassable with lush tropical growth. Their rocky waters are the perfect home for young fish, and the islands themselves look like two fingerlings swimming in the waves. |
