Liffe is a island of notable size in the Nocturnal Sea.[4] It is ruled by Baron Evensong[1] from Krynn whose curse is to spend 100 years trapped in his study for every day that goes by in real time.[5]. The three settlements in Liffe are Armeikos, Moondale, and Claveria; these three communities were taken from adventures described in the Book of Crypts.[6]
