Machmorrainas
Machmorrainas is a tiny village high within the bluffs of Isle Machmorraig. Though extremely small in size, it is notable for its relatively high population of Minotaur and its proximity to mysterious prehistoric ruins.
The residents of current-day Machmorrainas are mistrustful of, and sometimes even hostile to, outsiders-- particularly if they feel those outsiders threaten to bring increased contact with the wider world. Folktales passed down through generations and preserved by the nearby Circle of the Waning Moon tell of dragons, drakes, and unnamed ancient leviathans that dwell near the island, and major structures or settlements over a few hundred people tend to draw their attention all too easily.
Points of interest
The famous minotaur fighters of Machmorraig, a clan that has produced and trained many powerful gladiators and adventurers beloved from Cape Hildegard to Cantonova, make their homes in the hills of Machmorrainas. The village is also home to Mackenzie MacMailor the Minotaur Tailor, known widely in the Aquatic Kingdoms for his skill in tailoring to larger builds. He is popular with Aasimar and Tiefling travelers, particularly those acquainted with Isle Machmorraig through relationships with Fiend's Bane.
The ruins of Chapel Machmorran sit on the outskirts of Machmorrainas, a puzzling archaelogical site that hints at the area's ancient past as a larger population center. It is unknown whether the ancient town's destruction was caused by the natural disasters typical of the Age of Anxiety or by some malevolent force.
