Devil's Landing

"I swear, the forest seems to look back."

Gronk the Paranoid

Defences

Only 2 natural harbours exist leading into Devil's Landing, making it a relatively defensible outpost. These natural defenses did not prevent its downfall unfortunately.

Assets

Various ruins of long lost civilizations. Mentions of abandoned mining shafts, statues, overgrown topiaries, and some treasure left by its previous inhabitants.

History

Not much is known about the civilization that made its home on this island. While there are still statues standing, it is hard to tell who the inhabitants truly were as each and every statue has had its head broken off. Many have speculated it was one of the elven races that made their homes here, but there have been theories that the original inhabitants were humans, or in some outlandish claims, tieflings.

Architecture

Narrow arches made of pitted stone still span some of the game trails that wind through the ruins of the island, and massive stone slabs can still be seen making up the walkways where they haven't been completely eroded by time.

Geography

While the island itself is beautiful, it is also home to many dangerous denizens. Savage orcs roam the glades, and giant crocodiles haunt the boggy undergrowth. The landscape varies between swamps and hilled forested areas, with many of the revolting swamps possessing pools far deeper than they appear.
