Okiyoura Islands
Okiyoura is a set of mystical islands surrounded by an Ancestral Veil that shift location every 600 years. The veil that protects the islands becomes accessible to all realms and worlds every 300 years but how long the doors stay open is anyone's guess. Once the doors close those caught outside or inside of the veil are stranded unless they have access to one of the permanent access portals. To gain access to those portals requires the blessings of The Mothers, for this reason, you will find old and new creatures and races on the islands once long thought dead and gone.
The Gods and Goddesses of this world live and work among the people but, no one knows who they really are. Make no mistake they are powerful and choose to live anonymously among their people to better protect them from those on the outside.
The overall governance of Okiyoura is held by the Prime Council and the Grand Elders. Each island has its own form of rule with two representatives on the council.
Geography
Okiyoura is an island chain of twenty-one islands of which four remain sparsely populated with those brave enough to explore the uncharted islands. The newest settlement lies on Dyas and Koashasha which is still under mapping by The Onyx Conclave and the Scarlet Glade.
Mountain ranges, swamps, deserts, jungles, and grasslands dot these islands. One Island is constantly covered in snow and ice.
History
Access to Okiyoura comes once every 300 years and it is unknown by those on the outside just how long The Veil stays open for. Historically it has opened from 1-5 years but has been known to stay open longer. Once the veil closes those caught on either side are stuck until the next time it opens.
Tourism
Okiyoura is known for its healing plants, unique armor, skilled craftsmanship, natural resources, and magic. If you are lucky enough you may even be able to attend one of the five major holiday festivals.
