[X] The wide stretches of southern coastline along the Missa Shelf home to, among other things, the Claes Redoubt -[X] A settlement somewhere along the southern coast offers the best of both worlds for the Iruxi. They can benefit from both the bounty of the land, as they have for uncounted eons, but also that of the sea, which offers not only an abundant food source to the powerful natural swimmers, but also a means of quick and easy transportation for trade. The lack of large numbers of nearby neighbors will also allow the Iruxi to settle down and establish themselves without too much interference from potentially prejudiced Andorans.
