Datiao
The largest of the islands in the Boricubosan archipelago, there are many coquían and anabagua caciques that serve as leaders of the villages throughout the land, but none as well-known and respected as the anabagua cacique Wild Jungle and the coquían cacique known as Junipi. These two have been close allies and friends for many years and have combined their towns near the center of the jungle into one unified community named Guatabara to the West of the island. Ever since the Blight started wiping out the elders of the anabaguas, Wild Jungle has taken over as a pillar of the community, as she goes forward and is trying to lead her people through the difficult time they are going through. She is one of the few anabaguas who have figured out that The Blight is only killing off those over a certain age, and even when other anabaguas grow older, they are not being affected by The Blight, so she is certain that this is some curse inflicted upon the elders of the community, but she still has no idea why. Junipi meanwhile, is doing her best to improve relations between the anabaguas and the coquían to such an extent that they can form an army of their own, just in case the civil war crosses over to Datiao. While it is an unlikely occurrence, as there are very few communities that would be seen as good targets for any side of the civil war, it is a precaution that Junipi is willing to take, training many anabaguas and coquían in the art of combat and trapmaking in order to defend Guatabara and surrounding villages. Though it is not confirmed, it is rumored that Junipi is sweet on Wild Jungle, who has no idea of Junipi’s feelings towards her.
Further into the island, where the jungle becomes more and more threatening there are sparse communities which can’t have more than twenty to thirty people. These communities are usually nomadic in nature or are treetop communities which allow the majority of anabaguas and coquían to avoid the dangers of living on the jungle floor, such as insect swarms, titan centipedes, and other wild animals as well as the occasional skirmishes with formians. Little that the people of Datiao know, this is the island which has the most dragons and drakes currently in stasis, buried beneath the ground and ready to spring back to life at any moment once the forgotten god Ragnor frees them from their stasis. The drakes in particular are viscous beyond belief and want nothing more than to destroy all life in Boricubos, however, they are to be held back by the brine dragons once they awaken who do not want to rule over communities of the dead.
