Hesmene's Grotto

Hesmene's Grotto.

Hesmene's Grotto is a rocky island north of Dahak's Teeth in the Shackles. It features hidden coves and sources of fresh water, and is populated mostly by various breeds of turtles and sea birds. Visitors marvel over the dozens of grottoes filled with strains of phosphorescent algae that illuminate the sea caves in a miraculous glow of colors. Pirates considered the island a small piece of paradise but, about 100 years ago, the spiteful rusalka known as Blue Hesmene emerged on the island and made it her cruel playground.
