Mistetstal Island


 
"Well, it could've been worse than you would ever know.
Those patchwork machines patched me a new arm made of an ancient copper handle and a surprisingly pristine spyglass. Ol' antiquarian told me the handle was from a very old era of āltāʾlyf.
I pray the gods these things didn't wanted to use me for some wicked purpose. The island exist for sure. But would i go back ? Not even drunk on kraken ink rhum ! Despite the wonder, the view of lost metal of doomed times were merging into a dreadful aura i couldn't even understand. Like something alive and incomprehensible was driving those junks. This place felt like the old esoteric dream, or nightmare, i would say, of something more antediluvian than the gods."

Geography

Closest only to āltāʾlyf but my many miles, Mistetstal island is an artifical one. Prior to the "Grand Collapse" in their country, many remnants of Sunspark Automative Constructions where thrown oversea some miles away from shore. Through many decades, many broken and unused metal objects were thrown in the Camb sea. However, unbeknowst to all, an ancient energy from an ancient primordial temple in the middle of this dangerous sea started to manifest again, which attracted metal to its base, along with some broken but still alive S.A.C constructs.
Awoken by the ambiant eldritch energy and confused, the S.A.C constructs started to wander around and gather metal under the sea. Centuries came by until the pile of steel and ironcame out of the sea level, creating an artificial island.

Since his creation, some mariners from varied countries claimed to have stranded on this ancient and uncommon land of metal. Some having suffered limb lost claimed to have been given uncommon and secondhand prosthetics but weird constructs made of many different pieces like a collage. Those have been the most lucky of the bunch, as some were traded to other races as trade supplies, never to be seen again...

Even in the recent time, no country tried to claim the island or investigate it further, under fear of losing military to the very dangerous Camb Sea.

The island, at present time, has a superficy of 4,7 kilometers squared. At this base under the sea, the superficy is 12,4 kilometers squared.

Fauna & Flora

Fauna is close to nonexistent because of the raise in water's toxicity. However, a rare sight on the island can be the prsence of some migrating birds which take a short rest on the island. However, such sighting is short. Near the water level, it is however possible to encounter some sea slugs that adapted to the artifical island, and also sturdy sealife in the depths, but those are exception. According to mariners, the legendary Thallasaurus, mighty primordial fish only a handful of mortals claimed to have seen, roam in proximity of the Camb sea, especially near to this island.

Natural Resources

The island doesn't produce any high quantity of ressources by itself, but their amount of metallurgic ressources expands thanks to their Animas scavenging the depths, but also through trade with the Erairari , in which they trade access through the ancient ruins below the island. Most people would think the metal pile making the island would rust and decay away, but eldritch energy coming from the temples below allow for the metal do avoid oxygenation , or at least slow it dramatically. the anima's research also allowed them to refine the desecrated water into a potent solution which Erairari are willingful to trade, this brew being a powerful subtitute to smoke underwater, made with specimen of rust alguaes around the island.
