The Southern Archipelago

The Southern Archipelago, called Tíortha Briste (the Broken Lands) by their inhabitants, are a collection of islands off the southern coast of Doma. Though there are numerous islands, only eight of them are habitable, the rest being either too small, too mountainous, or entirely covered in ice. Those eight have been settled by the southerners (who call themselves fír suthr, literally 'south folk') since the beginning of the third epoch, some four thousand or so years before the events of The Great Man. These islands are: Each island is ruled by a rídh, the equivalent of a king on the continent. Like the kingdoms of Doma, the islands have a high king, the Ard Rídh. Unlike the continent, this position is not hereditary, but decided by vote between the rulers of the islands. There have been few recorded incidents of children of the Ard Rídh granted the title at the passing of their parent. One notable exception is Anders Mac Agmundr, who  became ard rídh following his father's death during the Harrowing of the South in the third epoch.
