The Cracked Islands

Three islands located south of the Bay of Knives. They consist of the Green Island, Middle Island and Black Island. These islands are home to various Felver tribes, the ruins of the Proxian colony Eridale and the refugee town of Murkwald. The Cracked Islands house a variety of tropical life but beneath the thin veneer of paradise lies a dark magic that touches all inhabitants. Massive shadow-twisted spiders war with each other in the deep forests, ghosts litter the land around the ruins of Eridale

The Cracked Islands were formed during the Sundering. The mad witch Almara patrols the island, keeping its inhabitants in her thrall and protecting the island from outsiders

Almara was once a Proxian chaplain on board the colony flagship Blessed. She was captured and horrifically tortured by a native Felver tribe. She went mad and escaped, emerging years later blessed with strange powers over nature and shadow. She acts in her own interests by cursing the town of Eridale as revenge for abandoning her to the Felvers. She also acts in the interests of the island by ruling over the Felvers as a deity and demanding tithes from them to feed her as she protects them from an unknown threat.

Fauna & Flora

Green Island is the most luscious of the islands. It's forests are vibrant with life. Faerie colonies propagate nourishment for the trees and plants which in turn sustain life. A mountain is located on the westernmost side of the island. On it's southern border is the mining town of Murkwald, which contains an entrance to a deep system of mines running below the island to both the Undermine and the Middle Island. South of the mountain is Eridale, what was once a Proxian colony is now a literal ghost town, cursed by Almara.

Middle Island is similar to green island, but contains a variety of Felver Tribes warring over territories. A dormant volcano separates two parts of the island and serves as a battleground where the tribes fight. Middle Island wraps around black island, separated by a small channel. Black Island is filled with corrupting energies and tribes that are hostile to all. Sometimes this corruption seeps into Middle Island, corrupting the inhabitants.

Black Island is a circular land bordered by black rocky cliffs. Very few tribes inhabit this land. The ones that do are some of the most depraved and hateful individuals to be seen on Elysia. These tribes regularly engage in raiding and slave-taking. These slaves are captured and tortured for their dark gods. A sickness pervades all plants and animals in the land which seeps into all other islands. This corruption is called the Murkdeath, and was prevalent in all islands hundreds of years ago.
