Corgun's Pirates nest
A rather large town, filled with "cuttroaths, thieves, pirates and other low life scum" as normal sailors would say. The housing is primary made of stone and several buildings have a cellar and a first floor. The mayors home has 3 floors, making it the talles building except for the lighthouse and the belltower.
it used to be a traders hub in past times, but a few years ago the pirates swarmed in and the only (known) waterway on to the island became very hostile. Several ships where lost trying to get to the town to trade. It's clear that something happens when you enter that rough spot of water... there seems to be no magic at work.
Several scouts have observed the waterways and they all report the same: the only ships that come and go are the pirate vessels.
Geography
the island is difficult to reach. the only sea entrance is the waterway on to the island. The cliffs and shallow water around are preventing access.
Ecosystem
the island has many birds and a healthy fauna and flora. However, the introduction of new species to the indigenous flora and fauna has distubed the balans and several smaller animals have been eaten (by cats) and are no longer present on the island.
the weather during the summer is warm and pressing due to high humidity. The sun is relentless. in the evening the darkness falls quickly. The high humidity keeps the air warm and heavy. People who live here need to drink a lot to keep hydrated. As pirates, drinking isn't a problem. The town is all day and night alive. live music, fighting noises and drunken people. There is no police governing the streets, but there are unwritten laws.
Ecosystem Cycles
a fairly regular pattern of hot summers, extreme wet fall and soft winters.
Localized Phenomena
during spring it will rain on a daily base for an short (around one hour) period of time. This happens 90% of the time when the sun sets.
It rains for a short time, but extremely heavy. The fall is opposite, as it will rain all day. varying from a drizzle to extremely heavy rainfall. During these cloudfalls it sometimes is hard to breath.
Fauna & Flora
there is an abundance of flora and fauna, most of the plants are adapted to the dry and wet seasons. when timed right the food production on the island is excellent.
Natural Resources
the soil is very rich, there are metals, minerals, fresh water, gemstones and wood. The island is a paradise when cultivated the right way.
History
the location was a trade location as it lies central. Aznughari a druid, had the island under her control and made it easy to access by calming the sea and controlling the Kraken that lives beneath its surface.
Pirates took forcefull control of the island and killed everyone that opposed them. They left the druid alone and alive under certain conditions. First of all that the kraken would keep anything in, except for the pirate ships. (so any vessel can get in, but none get out.) The pirates assured the druid that they would stay away except for regular trade.
Tourism
outsiders can enter, no one can leave (without consent from the pirates). The pirates also made sure that one will think twice before trying to reach the pirates nest.
