Haci

Geography

Haci is a relatively small tropical island, a week sail east from Gazza's Homestead. It is home to 4 major landmarks:        With the exceptions of these cities, towns and labs, the island is very wild. There is a thick jungle featuring many animals (most notably monkeys, baboons and panthers).The jungle is very thick and roads take quite along time to construct (until The Eves make their road building machine). There are also several small streams running though the island, making little watering holes. 
The island is a volcanic island with an active volcano, so it  does have earthquakes and such. The beach is a darker yellow colour, due to the volcanic activity.

Ecosystem

There are lots of plants, fauna, animals and magical creatures on Haci
Out of the Animals, the most notable would be the assortment of monkeys, baboons and panthers. The jungle canopy is littered with monkeys, thousands upon thousands. They live off the fruit and live in large colonies hidden up high. The baboons where once populous, but Gilly Stone massacred many of them for her experiments. The panthers are perhaps one of the most deadly animals on the island. For quite some time a large panther with a white facial scar was terrorising the inhabitants of Datlof. They called this larger panther a 'Shadow Demon'. They said The shadow demon has been  
terrorising the town for months, breaking in and stealing food and attacking people.
  Thanks to the help of Eddard Mormont, Duncan Sand, Jon "the risen" Sprinklage (inhabiting the body of Elizabeth 'Bessie the barmaid' Barmoid) and Gilly Stone, the 'Shadow Demon' was vanquished near a stream not far from the town.

  There are many plants and fauna on the island. The thick jungle is home to many ferns, trees and many other things. The most notable things on the island are the rare fruit trees. There are two fruit trees that are exclusive to Haci, those being the red fruit and the yellow fruit. The yellow fruit is a poisonous mango like fruit, that is not life threatening in most cases, but will induce weeks of sickness. The red fruit is however very useful. Much like the yellow, it has the appearance of a red mango. When consumed, the red fruit induces about an hours worth of increased strength and dexterity. This makes is very useful to anyone in combat.

  Most of the magical creatures on the island are due to Harwin. He had several laboratories where many magical creatures were grown. Some notable creatures he created would be: The sentient door RodDOORrick, a gelatinous cube, an Otyugh. These are just the ones discovered by Eddard Mormont (and so on). It was never discovered what was in the third much smaller cage. But whatever it was, it had broken out.
The island was also briefly inhabited by an adult white dragon, which was captured by The Eves, subsequently broke out and destroyed large parts of the Eve city. There is also a fire elemental that lives inside of the volcano, protecting Harwin's Volcano Research Facility from Vampire and The Eves.

Localized Phenomena

Earthquakes are common on the island due to volcanic activity.

Natural Resources

Lots of wood, volcanic rock, gemstones

History

Harwin landed on Haci and started the Harwins town settlement around about the year 400. The town grew and grew, until around the year 700, a section of the population split off and founded the human town of Datlof to the south of Harwins town. Both towns grew and grew and had good relations with each other. Harwin took the time to explore the cave systems, and found 2 separate hidden laboratories, one below his town and one in the volcano. Tade was going well, all was good until around the year 1150 when The Eves arrived. For some time, it was relatively peaceful, the eves posed no serious threat. However in 1443, the eves massacred the people of Harwins town, causing Harwin to flee the island in shame and grief. The people of Datlof never knew if Harwin had actually left, as he left no note. After this event, the people of Datlof did not describe The Eves to anyone. 

  In 1472, a group of adventures made up on Eddard Mormont, Duncan Sand, Jon "the risen" Sprinklage, Gilly Stone and Captain Prospero landed on the beaches in search of Harwin. They took time exploring the island. They helped kill the 'Shadow Demon', a large panther terrorising Datlof. They also investigated Harwins town to find it destroyed. Whilst in Harwins town, they saw from the top of Harwin's tower The Army of the Night arriving at the island on their hundreds of black and purple ships. They landed at Datlof and massacred roughly half the population. Eddard Mormont and the other companions freed the captives. Gilly MoorRagnarr MacReed and Captain Prospero split off and started a guerrilla war against both The Army of the Night and The Eves. This lasted several months, and was somewhat successful at slowing their domination. Eddard Mormont, Duncan Sand, Jon "the risen" Sprinklage and their new companion Elizabeth 'Bessie the barmaid' Barmoid set off to investogate the rest of the island. They lived from a crashed ship, and after months they returned to Harwins town. There they were kidnapped by The Eves and taken too their city. A lot happened there, but it ended with a dragon loose, the goblin king in its claws and half the city on fire. From here, the two parties re joined together. The party went on two key missions, one to the vampire camp at Datlof and one to Harwin's Volcano Research Facility. After the events of Harwin's Volcano Research Facility, Ramsay Reed came to Haci, and destroyed the entire island, sinking it into the sea. The militia set up by Gilly Stone and Ragnarr MacReed escaped with the players on board Captain Prospero's ship, The well cubed
