The Mysterious Island
Not much is known of Zakkazana Island, and there is a reason it's called the Mysterious Island. What little is known is reported by those who travelled to The Island in the hope of passing the initiation and joining the Zapassnee Order of Knights, and have failed. It's not surprising that those who returned with their tails between their legs (literally or metaphorically) had many stories to tell, and even less surprising that they differ wildly.
Those who reach the Mysterious Island and return, do so with many stories. Wild stories of the incredible, the improbable and the downright impossible [...] Stories told to entertain, to boast and perhaps to hide a wounded ego.
Geography
Most tales that come back for the Mysterious Island tell of a large island, tens of miles wide with at least one major wide river running through it. There are said to be some hills (although reports of size vary greatly).
Some scholars of Zakkazana suggest that the island has some volcanic activity and may in fact be a dormant or even an active volcano. Others go further and suggest that volcanic activity beneath the surface of the island is what causes Zakkazana to move, is why the island was impossible to locate on a map and may be why the island suddenly disappeared.
Climate
Reports of the weather also vary, but most agree that there is a tropical climate.
Stories, including The Blood Of The Zakkazana Princess, tell of red sand, suggesting red sand beaches.
History
There are stories of tribes on the island millennia ago. Tales like The Blood Of The Zakkazana Princess mention some of the early people on the island.
No one knows what happens to these people, but the island was deserted when it was claimed by the Zapassnee Order and used to train Zapassnee Knights. People would travel from far and wide to try out to be part of the order.
500 years ago the island disappeared, people stopped being able to find it, and the Zapassnee Knights stopped responding to requests or turning up for those in need. Many people looked for it, but to no avail.
