Ogygia Settlement in Ogygia's Honor | World Anvil

Ogygia (Oh-gih-gee-uh)

The state of Ogygia is a traveling island state that uses magic and the powers of its leaders to transport the island through time and space to planets the rulers find interesting/want to visit.   It will always be located in the ocean and will always be accompanied by the Dark Power which the rulers of the island have contained so that it wouldn't corrupt any other worlds.   Ogygia is known only to a select few outside of the island, and is very adept at maintaining its secrecy.

How interesting - a traveling hidden island nation with attached curse! If they can't get past the Darkness, how do they learn about places to go?

Honestly, a very good question! I think it occurs more as premonitions in their main diviner, who gets visions of specific people. With the aid of their companions, they can locate those people and transport their island. However, they have to reign in the darkness again every time they relocate, keeping them in an endless cycle of exploration and self-defense.   Thank you so much for your comment!! It means more than you know. <3

There's so much worth loving in this world. You are one of those things.
