Eidon: Fertile Sanctuary of Pacura
Heart of Harvest:
Eidon, bathed in the relentless sun, emerges as the granary of Pacura. Its rich soils, enhanced by drizzles from the Weeping Willow, yield thrice as much as the mainland. A triple-crop island, Eidon's bounties are legendary, ensuring sustenance beyond its shores.
Blindbat's Enigma:
The depths of Eidon house the mysterious Blindbat Jungle. A verdant maze of towering bamboo and echoing calls, it's home to creatures like nocturnal batgoblins. Within, the Eidon Clearing holds a weathered statue of Sootha, a solemn reminder of past reverence.
In bamboo abodes, batgoblins rest by day and venture out at night. These beings savor fruits and insects, living under the watchful eyes of Eidon's hidden tribe.
Maritime Mysteries:
Eidon's northeastern shore whispers tales of maritime adventures. Once a graveyard of stranded ships, it now celebrates resilience through the Anchorage of Dhomas, a monument to lost souls.
Guardians and Settlements:
The Shatterbrand, once mercenaries, are now revered saviors. Their legacy imprints on Driord, a thriving trade hub. Overseeing security, the Mudguard, with a unique shoreline vigil, ensure peace and stability.
Rich Traditions:
The island pulsates with traditions. From ceremonial tree laws to the Sansaint’s Festival, Eidon's culture blends respect for nature and a celebration of life. Locals, in vine attire, share stories and seek blessings at shrines of the stormmother.
In Eidon, to burn is to blaspheme. Bodies find rest beneath the island's soil, embraced by nature, revered by kin.
Nature's bounty becomes Eidon's fashion. Clad in intertwined vines and adorned with natural armor, islanders shield from the scorching sun with layers of nourishing mud.
In Eidon, trees are revered. While one can build from their wood, homes remain hollow until nature reclaims its space, sprouting anew.
In tales passed down, the Stormmother departs, leaving the Stormfather with their terrestrial brood. Eidon's shrines honor her, hoping to quell her wrath.
Coastal Colossus:
Anchored firmly to its northern coast is the renowned turtle ship, Tortuga. Symbolizing freedom and resilience, it stands as a beacon for mariners, a testament to Eidon's maritime legacy.
Legacy of Conflict:
Eidon bears scars from its past — being the first to fall during inter-island tensions to the tragic events of Sansaint’s Festival. Yet, each scar is a testament to its resilience, its ability to rise, rebuild, and renew.
Surrounded by azure waters, Eidon stands as a beacon of abundance, tradition, and resilience. Through every high and low, this island continues to flourish, embracing its legacy, looking forward to a prosperous future.
Whispertails: These are luminescent, hummingbird-sized dragons that flit about the Blindbat Jungle. By day, their iridescent scales blend seamlessly with the foliage. By night, they glow softly, guiding lost travelers.
Jungle Moa: Standing about knee-high, these flightless birds have bright, multicolored plumage and a knack for mimicry. They often copy the sounds around them, leading to tales of "talking trees" in Eidon.
Vine Serpents: Slender, green snakes that have a symbiotic relationship with certain plants. They weave through the undergrowth, helping pollinate flowers in return for nectar. While not venomous, their rapid movements often startle unsuspecting wanderers.
Mudmantas: Living along the shores, these creatures resemble rays but move through mud flats instead of water. Their dorsal fins protrude from the mud, resembling plants, and help them absorb sunlight for energy.
Bamboo Drakes: Small, herbivorous lizards that primarily feast on bamboo shoots. Their tough jaws and sharp teeth allow them to efficiently chew through the tough plant. When threatened, they emit a loud, drum-like sound by tapping their tail against hollow bamboo trunks.
Shadowferns: Not exactly fauna, but these mobile plants have earned their place in local tales. By day, they root themselves and photosynthesize. By night, they use rudimentary limbs to move towards areas with richer soil or better sunlight.
Tidehoppers: Frog-like creatures that dwell in the tidal pools along Eidon's coast. Their skin has a shimmering, mirror-like quality, which reflects the moonlight and makes them almost invisible during nighttime high tides.
Crescent Moths: These nocturnal moths have wings shaped like crescent moons and are believed by locals to be messengers of the stormmother, Sootha. Their brief, sporadic appearances are often seen as omens.
Lunarferns: These silver-leaved ferns glow faintly in the moonlight, illuminating patches of the Blindbat Jungle. Local legends suggest they're a gift from the stormmother to light the way for lost souls.
Tidetangle Vines: Found along the coastal areas, these vines react to the saline content in the air. During high tide, they bloom with azure flowers, and during low tide, they retract and display thorny stems.
Whisperwillows: Unlike regular willow trees, these have translucent leaves that emit a soft, harmonious sound when rustled by the wind, reminiscent of whispered secrets.
Sapphire Caps: Bright blue mushrooms that thrive in the damp underbelly of the Blindbat Jungle. When disturbed, they release a cloud of spores that shimmer for a few seconds before settling.
Sunseeker Palms: Unique to Eidon's beaches, these palms have mobile roots, allowing them to slowly relocate to optimal sunlight spots over time.
Veilferns: Growing in the deeper, shadowed parts of the jungle, these ferns have a natural camouflage ability. Their fronds can take on the appearance of their surroundings, making them nearly invisible to the naked eye.
Bloomheart Trees: These trees have thick trunks with what appear to be heartbeat patterns. When in full bloom, the tree produces heart-shaped fruits with a sweet nectar inside, a local delicacy.
Moonlit Moss: Found predominantly around the Eidon Clearing, this moss absorbs sunlight during the day and emits a soft, blue luminescence at night, creating a dreamy landscape.
Guardian Grass: Growing around historical sites and landmarks, this tall grass has razor-sharp edges. Legends say it grew to protect sacred areas from intruders.
Drizzlebuds: Small, bulbous plants that react to the moisture levels in the air. When rain or drizzle is imminent, they bloom with tiny white flowers, making them nature's own weather predictors on Eidon.
Moonberries: A nocturnal crop unique to Eidon, these berries ripen under moonlight, absorbing its soft glow. When harvested, they emit a gentle luminescence and are used in many local desserts for their sweet and tangy flavor.
Golden Rice: A variant of rice with a shimmering golden hue when cooked. It's a staple grain of Eidon, celebrated for its rich nutritional content and slightly nutty flavor.
Tidetubers: Root vegetables that grow best in the sandy soils near the coast. They have a saline, earthy taste and are often used in local stews and roasts.
Jungle Maize: A taller and thicker variant of corn with deep green kernels. It's both consumed directly and used to make a popular local drink.
Blindbat Beans: Climbing vines that produce beans with a strong, caffeine-like effect. They're ground into a powder and brewed into a stimulating drink by locals.
Sootha's Tears: Tiny, droplet-shaped fruits that have a refreshing, watery taste. They're often eaten fresh or squeezed into a rejuvenating juice.
Lunarlettuce: A leafy green that glows faintly at night, much like the Lunarferns. It's a favorite in local salads and is believed to have calming properties when consumed.
Stormspice: A herb known for its intense, peppery kick. It's used sparingly in dishes to add heat and is believed to be favored by the storm gods.
Cane Reeds: Tall, sturdy plants used both for their sweet stalks, which are processed into sugars and syrups, and for their tough exterior, useful for building and crafting.
Eidon Eggplants: Large, bulbous vegetables with a deep purple, almost black color. They have a creamy texture when cooked and are a staple in many traditional dishes.
Forest with lush wildlife.
Nomadic people.
Green, vine clothing.
