Uttersea
Port
Uttersea is the largest settlement of Tuern, a Northlander island in the Trackless Sea, built inside a collapsed volcanic crater that shelters it from storms.
Longhouses huddle inside the rim of a collapsed volcano, warm ground steams in the frost, and the wind howls harmlessly overhead.

Overview
Uttersea lies on Tuern, one of the cold islands of the Trackless Sea far to the north-west of the Sword Coast. The town sits inside the crater of an old volcano, whose walls break the wind and rain and whose warm ground takes the edge off the northern cold.
Its people fish, farm and hunt whales. The island also holds adamantine and diamonds, but the islanders lack the skill to refine and work them, so the raw stones and ore are traded away.
At the table
- A merchant wants a smith able to work adamantine brought to Uttersea, and pays well for the escort.
