Hautausmaa
Hautausmaa is a collection of islands nestled between the south eastern borders of Hiekamaa and the north eastern borders of Montem Apicem, there is no capital, only decrepit villages scattered along the small clusters of islands, every village with it’s own dock, none big enough to call a proper harbour or port. Storms rage around the islands and the waters they are surrounded by, the water dark even on the brightest of days, the few days there are of those, and holds untold dangers. Many choose to set sail from the small, unclaimed islands between Hiekamaa, Montem Apicem and Mandir Van, sailing along the canal until they reach the back end of the islands and dock there at one of them. The largest of these small islands of Hautausmaa is nestled close to Hiekamaa, and on a clear day, one can see the darkened islands from the coast. The water surrounding Hautausmaa is dark and murky, named the ‘Dark Water’ for it’s ominous darkness and the dark horrors beneath the surfaces. There is no single governing figure that rules over Hautausmaa, each village and town dictating themselves, distrustful of outsiders and prefer to be left alone. Many on the islands prefer solitude and so it’s often overlooked and forgotten, as the inhabitants probably want it to be. The islands are filled with rocky terrain and forgotten caverns that hold an ominous promise to any who are foolish enough to approach, a promise that they may not return, dark creatures roaming the night sky and you would seldom find someone outdoors at night.
