The Menagerie Coast is the sun-drenched western edge of Wildemount in the realm of Exandria—a chain of trading ports, jungle islands, and pirate-haunted shipping lanes governed by the Clovis Concord. Beneath the color and shanties, however, the Myriad crime syndicate infiltrates guilds while the Revelry pirates terrorize the Lucidian Ocean.

This guide covers ten of the gazetteer’s most distinctive locations, and matches them with a battlemap to bring them to life at your table! These entries focus on locations outside the Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount's adventures, so whether your players stick to the main quest or go wandering, you’ll have the maps to keep up.

⚠️ Spoilers Abound! If your party is heading to the Menagerie Coast—stop here, send this to your DM, and come back when you’ve sailed out of there alive.

1. Port Damali — Shimmering Port

Top-down battlemap of a grand coastal plaza built from white and blue stone. Ornate circular structures and open promenades sit by clear deep blue water, surrounding blue-domed buildings and neat flowering gardens.

Port Damali is the jewel of the Menagerie Coast; a capital of free trade outside the empire. The Gilded Esplanade here hosts the Exalted Collection Auction House, where relics from across Exandria change hands for staggering sums.

This Shimmering Port map captures Port Damali at its most opulent, with whitestone plazas, manicured gardens, and blue-domed buildings that reflect the wealth and influence of the Coast’s most powerful city.

2. Darktow — Haunted Dockside Inn

Top-down battlemap of a large, eerie dockside inn at night, built on a wooden boardwalk overlooking dark murky water. Green phantom lights glow from lanterns and sconces, and the rooms are furnished with dark wood and plush red furniture.

Darktow sits at the heart of the Revelry, an eerie, fog-shrouded town carved into the cliffs of a volcanic island. Its ramshackle structures sprawl across rock shelves and rickety platforms, and the dragon turtle Idok patrols the surrounding reefs by arrangement with the Plank King himself.

This Haunted Dockside Inn map is the perfect place to have a drink you shouldn’t trust, delivering completely on the premise of a dark pirate stronghold that runs on secrets, with its dense fog, green phantom lighting, and plush red interiors.

An illustrated scene of a fog-shrouded dockside inn as viewed from the outside. Sickly green light bleeds from hanging lanterns along the boardwalk and from every window.

The animated scene paints a picture of the fog outside, rotting boardwalks, and sickly green glow bleeding from every window. There’s also a sky variant if you want to place the inn higher up on Darktow’s cliffside.

3. Barren Shores — Haunted Ghost Ship (Interior + Exterior)

Top-down battlemap of a massive wrecked galleon resting on a rocky seabed at the bottom of the ocean. The ship is surrounded by ghostly, spectral green fire that bleeds through the dark water.

The Barren Shores are the cold, dark pebble beaches where the Cyrios Mountains drop into the icy Frigid Depths. Something immense pulverized the cliffs here long ago, and the twisted crustaceans and seaside cults that have moved in since have done little to improve its reputation.

Top-down battlemap of the interior of the same wrecked ship as above. The hull is split across the width of the whip and suffused with spectral green energy. Scattered cargo and crates fill the hold.

The adventure hook here explores a wrecked smuggler ship, where the former crew hasn’t fully departed. The exterior of this Haunted Ghost Ship map sets the scene beautifully, while the interior variant delivers a cramped, debris-filled hold for an eerie dungeon crawl.

4. Dolithil Mine — Royal Mine Town

Top-down battlemap of a mining settlement built into rolling hillside terrain. Small stone buildings cluster under minecart tracks that wind through cut-rock tunnels, with wooden bridges connecting the different levels.

Gwardan is the elven city of the Menagerie Coast, whose wealth rests on a unique metalworking process that produces goods coveted across Exandria. The mines carved into the nearby Cyrios Mountains supply raw materials, and competition over their access has drawn all sorts into the city’s politics.

This Royal Mine Town map gives these operations a practical working shape, with stone compounds, cart tracks, and carved tunnels—perfect for sessions built around Gwardan’s jealously guarded mining secrets and the mercenaries competing to control them.

For expeditions deeper into the mines themselves, consider pairing this with the Mushroom-Infested Mines map!

5. Lushgut Forest — Cloud Forest Camp (Natural)

Top-down battlemap of a dense tropical forest. A dirt path winds up through tiered rocky switchbacks, surrounded by thick tropical ferns and a thin layer of mist that drifts through the undergrowth.

The Menagerie Coast is home to many tropical regions, and the Lushgut Forest is one of its darkest. The book traces its origins to the Calamity, where divine anguish twisted the forest into a labyrinthine, fume-choked woodland.

The natural variant of the Cloud Forest Camp is a great fit for travel through Lushgut or one of the other tropical jungles of the Menagerie Coast, with its drifting mist and canopy dense enough to put the forest floor in permanent shadow.

A painterly illustrated scene of a dense tropical forest at night. A natural stone staircase ascends toward a dim clearing under massive trees. Ferns and tropical plants crowd the forest floor.

The map’s illustrated scene is a gorgeous establishing shot for when your party pushes past the treeline and into the dangers of the woods.

6. Nicodranas — Beach Town

Top-down battlemap of a colorful coastal town built right at the waterline. Teal and green rooftops crowd with bright stalls and tarps along sandstone streets leading down to the beach. Emerald-painted cannons face outward toward the seafront.

Nicodranas—whose name translates as “gathering of colors”--more than earns its name, with colorful Menagerie pavilions mixing with imperial gothic architecture, and its Opal Archways that glow with multicolored torches and incense.

This Beach Town map paints a delightful burst of color for when your players first arrive, with its vibrant roofs, market stalls, and emerald seafront cannons.

An illustrated scene of a stone coastal promenade. Steps lead down toward a sandy beach, and colorful market stalls line the walkway. Tall townhouses rise along streets in the background.

The map’s animated scene gives players a ground-level arrival shot up the promenade steps, and is a great way to paint a picture of the city as they disembark.

7. Port Zoon — Iron Wharf

Top-down battlemap of a harborfront. Stone platforms are separated by wide water canals, lined by orange industrial buildings, pipes, cranes, and machinery. A huge golden submarine built in the shape of a marlin floats in the central canal.

Port Zoon is the industrial engine of the Clovis Concord, and its cityscape is dotted with strange towers, furnace exhaust, and the work of arcane and scientific experts from wealthy guilds.

This Iron Wharf map is instantly recognizable as an industrial hub, with its mechanical vessels moored in working industrial canals and all sorts of arcane machinery all around. This is a great place for your party to come to commission unusual equipment—or get caught in violent guild politics.

8. Feolinn — Fey Vineyard

Top-down battlemap of an open-air Mediterranean-inspired winery courtyard. Round tables and cushioned seating fill a warm stone terrace ringed by vine-covered pillars and lush grapevines. At the far end of the terrace stands a large stone centaur statue.

Feolinn is known as the Garden City—a small port pressed against the Plumgroves, whose woodland supplies the most competitive wine and spirits industries in Exandria. The book describes the city as replete with rural charm, full of well-kept parks and gardens.

This Fey Vineyard captures Feolinn’s cultivated leisure well, with an open-air winery courtyard, lavish decor, and well-maintained grapevines that feel right at home in a city where parks and gardens are considered a point of civic pride.

An illustrated scene of a cobbled path running through a sun-lit vineyard. Rows of grapevines on wooden trellises line both sides of the road, and weathered classical stone columns rise in the background.

This map’s animated scene pulls back to the vineyard road itself, lined with trellised grapevines and depicting a perfect, idyllic, sunlit view of the Plumgroves.

9. Othemoor — Eeler’s Inn

Top-down battlemap of a small inn built on wooden docks over a dark marsh. Small boats are moored at a wooden boardwalk outside, amidst marsh reeds and drifting fog. Inside is a modest bar and common room with a handful of tables.

Othe is a small city-state built across the waterline of the Othemoor marsh. Having begun as a Ki’Nau shamanistic site, the Othemoor is thick with humid air, mildewed wood, and ancient secrets.

This Eeler’s Inn perfectly suits a stopover in Othe, with its weathered dock-boards, modest common room within, and the Othemoor pressing in just beyond the inn walls—where the adventure hooks suggest that the ancient muck hides things considerably more dangerous than bad smells.

10. Ki’Nau Fishing Villages — Floating Village

Top-down battlemap of a simple floating village built across open turquoise water. Reed platforms and wooden bridges are lashed together in a loose ring. At one end, the enormous skeleton of a sea creature is tied on the roof of a large house.

Long before Marquesian colonists arrived, the Ki’Nau were the people of the Menagerie Coast, and their influence still runs through the land.

This Floating Village map works well for a settlement tracing its roots to the Ki’Nau, or for any of the small fishing communities scattered across the coast, such as the tabaxi community around Raska Lake in the Quoraska Jungle.
