Edstrom Island

an area or geographical landmark wrapped in myth, legend or superstition This tiny island was the "birthplace" of the cyborgs. Now the exact details of the revolt are unknown, as there is nothing left, but on <date> the story goes that the cyborgs revolted against the factory and during that revolt somethign went horribly wrong.
Something or someone, initiated a self destruct sequence and just a minute later the island was reduced to a burning heap of smoldering ashes. The Factory was gone, a huge deep hole in the ground filling up with water from the surrounding ocean. No cyborgs survived except one selection of 10000 that the factory had created a day before and placed in the cave near the harbor for transport.

Geography

The island was a trpoical island, lush with green and a large underground factory.
when the factory blew up the island became a barren waste. When the catastrophe changed the earth, this island became part of a much colder climate. The hole in the ground still holds water but the level is lower. The trees on the island went from tropical to nordic pine trees.

Ecosystem

the island is still an island, but captured in ice. the frozen surface enables enaimals to cross from island to island and a new ecology is rising. Electronic devices and computers are dead when you come near the island.
