Eldwatch Isle
Eldwatch Isle rises out of the waters of Moonshadow Lake, shrouded in mist and steeped in history and legend. Its name, combining "eld" (old/ancient) and "watch" (guardianship), suggests a place of forgotten knowledge and enduring vigilance. The island is home to crumbling ruins, overgrown forests, and hidden caves, all bearing witness to a long and turbulent past. Rumors persist that the veil between worlds sometimes grows thin on Eldwatch Isle, making the decision to place Oathwatch Academy here puzzling.
Rumors about the island speak of hidden magical secrets in lost ruins. Something the residents of Driftwood Hollow scoff at. Some believe that Eldwatch Isle was once a stronghold of the lost fey kingdom of Nytheris Iluthar, guarding powerful artifacts and arcane knowledge. Others claim that the island is haunted by the spirits of long-dead warriors, who continue to protect its secrets from intruders. Regardless of the truth, Eldwatch Isle remains a place of mystery and danger, attracting adventurers and treasure hunters from across the land.
