Senia
21st of the Second Solas, 173 AE
The village of Xeryon is the only town left on the forsaken island of Zeptos. Once a beautiful island in the Silk Ocean, and a very popular vacation stay, this land has been reduced to a forsaken, desolate land filled with despair and decay. The city of Xeryon is the only place left, reduced to a small community of terrified, hopeless souls. Most have gone mad, and few have resorted to cults with promises of light and redemption.
From Prospos, a densely populated kingdom with the closest distance to the island, it is a 2 day journey by ship. The island and what's happened to its people is a mystery, kept secret to everyone but the king, his wife, and his most trusted advisor. Annually, the king will choose a handful of criminals he believes deserve a second chance and offers them a deal. Their sentences, records, and any previous charges will be cleared if they agree to go to the island and try to investigate or fix the island.
