Quy Island
Quy Island is the only offshore holding of the Xha’en Hegemony, located a few miles off of the western coast of the continent and home to several thousand Xha’en, mainly farmers and fishers. The city of Jhadarah sits on the island’s north coast, and is home to the wealthy Y’lshon family, whose vessels first undertook the long journey to Castorhage to establish the first connection between the Hegemony and the outside world.
This large, forested island lies a few miles off the west coast of Akados. It is home to several thousand Xha’en who make their living farming and fishing. It has one substantial settlement, the city of Jhadarah on the island’s northern coast.
The island’s interior is largely wild and unsettled, and is home to deer, black bears, foxes, and similar woodland creatures. While the eastern coast of Quy is relatively placid, the northern and western coasts are windy, rugged places periodically lashed by storms and high waves. A few communities cling to the rocks here, braving the high seas for their rich haul of ocean fish. Legends of the seas abound here, for just a few miles beyond the island, the Akadonian continental shelf drops abruptly, plunging to immeasurable depths, said to contain both wonders and horrors. Every few years, tales surface of great monsters ascending from the deep to ravage Quy fishing fleets before returning to The Abyss.
