The Isles

There are four different isles in the waters of Caladrius,

• The Isle of Leaves

• The Isle of Caves

• The Isle of Dust

• The Isle of Snow

The Isle of Leaves

The Isle of Leaves is a small island covered by a large forest. There are many paths weaving through the forest with footprints of past wanderers engraved in the dirt. The isle is thought to be the creation of Zaq as many wanderers try to conquer the forest, yet none succeed. Within the forest lies an enchantment, enticing people to enter the woods. Once in the forest many can hear notes flowing through the branches encouraging many to continue on. Once inside, it is said that noen return from the forest. What happens on the island is unknown, as no one has ever returned to tell. The Isle of Leaves also has the ability to move around Caladrius and is often said to appear when people are the most vulnerable to the forest's enchantment.

The Isle of Dust

The Isle of Dust is a large desert island that mainly resides off the coast of Lumine. While it is one of the isles that can move around Caladrius, it prefers to stay near Lumine. The isle is said to be where people go when they wish to die as it is a wasteland with no food or freshwater. No animals live on the island and few who venture there return. Those who have returned say that in the shimmer of the heat, they are able to see loved ones that have long been dead. It is said that those who are able to see the Isle of Dust from the shoreline, are able to see those that have been lost to the island watching them. While there is no song enchanting people to enter the island, there is a very strong pull to people who have recently suffered from loss.

The Isle of Caves

The isle of Caves is the third island surrounding Caladrius. Like the others, the island also has the ability to move at will. The isle is made up of mountain ranges that have various caves. Within the caves, people are likely to find portals to different places, and if you're not careful, you could enter the isle through a connecting cave on Caladrius. Many people have found themselves wandering onto the isle by accident and not being able to find their way back. In different caves, people will see visions of the past, present, or future. Unlike the first two islands, many have returned from the Isle of Caves and many people willing venture into its mountains to look for answers.

The Isle of Snow

The Isle of Snow is also know as the "Lost Isle" as no one has seen the island itself in over a milennia. Many have speculated as to what happend to the isle, guessing that it left to a different part of the ocean or that it stayed to long near lumine and completely melted. The truth, however, is that the isle was captured by some mischevious wind spirits and tied down to Caladrius. The Isle of Snow became what we now know to be Phiero, and due to the wind spirits has not been able to break free from Caladrius. Due to being attached to Caladrius, the Isle of Snow lost most of its magic and had to bow to the laws of nature. It no longer is only winter in Phiero, but now has spring, summer, and fall seasons. While the isle still retains a colder climate, it will only snow during the colder months of the year. When the Isle of Snow was free, those that wandered the island would be entranced with the never ending white landscape and often forget who they were and all of their troubles. Those that entered would forget who they were and would wander the white landscape forever, even forgetting to eat and drink, where they would eventually fade away.
The Isles were said to be blessed by the children of Kmoiuy, the wind spirits. As to where their enchantments come from, no one knows, not even the Damned. It has been speculated, however, that Dyu was the cause of their powers, while others saying he himself was born from the same power as the islands were.
