Bro Bagan

The Bro Bagan is a vaguely defined stretch of coastline in the Biskonti Leon, which has largely been overtaken by Bleed. Located on the Plateau de Leon in the Northwest of The Armorican Peninsula, it borders Painted Channel, straddling the Coast of Legends and the Golden Belt, between the Aber Ac'h and the La Fleche River. The smallest of Leon's subdivisions, it takes up the Northeast corner of the Lordship of Aginense and the Northwest corner of the Lordship of Chelgenn   The region has a deserved reputation as a dangerous stretch of the Painted Channel, filled with sharp rocks and hidden reefs, made more treacherous by frequent Wyldstorms and almost constant thick banks of Feth Fiada.   The low-lying region is filled with marshy wetlands, and many streams and rivers flow into the Painted Channel throughout the region, giving much of the coast's water a brackish quality. Lagoons and abers are common along the coastline, home to a wide variety of flora and fauna.  

Points of Interest

  Aber Wrac'h - Generally considered the Western edge of the Bro Bagan, although the changing nature of the numerous small rivers that flow into it make a hard border difficult to determine, the Aber Wrac'h is a naturally deep harbour surrounded by rolling, grassy hills. Villages of white walls and golden thatched roofs dot the river's edge and hills, while a small castle sits serenely on a bend on the river. Ruins of all eras can be found across the entire valley. Several small islands can be found within largely unoccupied, save for a lonely lighthouse. An old Kingdom footbridge spans several of the rivers. Given the nickname of "the Devil's Bridge" it has a reputation for being cursed.   Dunes of Keremma - A stretch of large sand dunes that mark the Eastern boundary of the Bro Bagan, although similar terrain extends into Chelgenn. A chapel of the Faith lies abandoned on a promontory extending into the sea. The hills behind these dunes are covered with large boulders and rocky outcroppings, giving them a rugged appearance.

Chondrus Sea Moss - Red algae seaweed is commonly harvested here for fertilizer, especially after storms. Locals will travel out in small boats with sickles attached to long poles to collect it, bringing the haul back to teams of horsecarts waiting in the shallows. It is forbidden to begin the harvest until the fires of the lighthouse have been extinguished. It is common for boundary disputes concerning the seaweed harvest to lead to brawls.  

jus Naufragii

The sharp reefs and submerged rocks along the coast have provided an unorthodox resource: Wreckage. When a ship dashes against the rocks, the local gather on the beaches, ready for the bounty that flows in with the storm-surge. Sometimes, lanterns will be tied to cows or donkeys, which wander the beach intimating the sway of a ship, drawing in unsuspecting victims. When the ship begins to go down, armed looters swarm the deck, taking what they can, killing those who oppose them or leaving them to the elements. This activity is hardly unique to the Bro Bagan, and is common in Leon, but the Church is quick to condemn it as proof of Fae bloodlust.
