I plan on claiming a good chunk of the archipelago to the east. I'll bounce a couple of ideas off of you guys:

•Tribes of barabaric beastmen/werebeasts with an environmental kick. Captain Planet meets RULES OF NATURE. Shamanistic, a lot of fantasy monsters, more magical than most. Lots of FIRE and BLOOD in their motifs.

•Far-east styled bugpeople. Different islands are home to a different [s]vaguely-racist ripoff[/s] caste of bugperson, that live in a sort of federation of mutual convenience. Expect "FLITHY MAMMAL GAIJIN, CHITIN SWORD FOLDED THOUSAND TIMES FAR SUPERIOR."
