Spring Reefs

The Spring Reefs are a fan made area created by Sanguine Regis

Description:
The Spring Reefs is a remote archipelago composed of more then seventy small islands, and lies in a temperate region that causes the area to have spring-like weather year round.

The islands of the archipelago are remarkably small plateaus, with the largest island being 60 meters across. Of these islands, only three are not plateaus and have small beaches. The rest of the islands sport vine-ridden cliffsides on all of their faces and average 20 meters tall. The Islands themselves are all remarkably flat, only having a height variance of one meter. The average distance between islands is 30 meters.

The water surrounding the islands is comparatively shallow, averaging between 30 and 40 meters deep. Within these waters is a colossal coral reef that the majority of wildlife calls home. The corral is incredibly vibrant and varied, with colors ranging from blue to red to white, and the size varying from no larger then a fist to the size of a small ship. This reef is home to numerous predators that feed on other animals in the reef, as well as animals descending from the islands and attempting to cross the reef.

Ecology:
The spring reefs host an incredibly ecosystem. Unlike most other archipelagos, any animal larger then a giggi must be able to freely move between islands in order to get enough food to survive. As such, the majority of organisms living on the island must either be able to fly between the islands, or descend the cliffs and swim.

The ecosystem within the actual reef consists of largely venomous animals that will feed on the corral, use ambush tactics, or actively hunt out other animals. Some of these animals have adapted to leave the reef temporarily and scale the islands cliffs in search of food.
