Of course, he was bored as there was nothing really to do on the island so he did many things, but his favorite was gardening as he became very good at caring for the plants that grew and began to study many of the unique fauna in the area and experimented to see what properties they had. It was not until he came across a beautiful purple flower that his life would never be the same. For the flower held a strong property in making anyone feels pleasant and at peace just by smelling is which he would call the Harmony Flower.

Wicked Elements

As one might guess a settlement filled with wicked things is bound to be controlled by wicked individuals. The criminal elements are the true rulers of the town as they care little for law and order but their own. Of course, there is only one group that rules over the town and they are known as the Purple Lotus. It is their rule that keeps the town properly working and no trouble is found on it as it tends to scare away customers. All must follow their rules to enjoy their stay on the island and not lose piece of themselves when they leave. But those who get in enough trouble will tend to never leave the island at all and are never seen again due to their infractions.

Mind’s Corruption

Haun Shu being a place of pleasures and sin will often effect those who reside in this place as well. Even the noblest of minds may fall to the corruptions that it holds and have a strong hold on them. Leading to some to stay here for months at a time as they have forgotten how much time has passed. Along with the addictions of drugs that take during there stay leaving their mind clouded and only desiring satisfying the urges of taking said drugs. This will often lead them to spend great amounts of wealth to satisfy themselves and some will end up penny less by the time they leave this place if they leave at all.

Criminal Haven

You might be wondering why Huan Shu even exists as it is quite obvious that no government would tolerate such a place due to it being a distributor of drugs to other region in the isles and other criminal activities. Well there’s a problem with the location of the island that it is located in an isolated region that no one what’s to bother claiming as it is of no strategic value whats so ever. It is the reason why it has been allowed to exist so long. There is also the reason of that even if anyone conquered the island it would be considered an act of aggression and possibly lead to war and no one really wants to go to war over a floating rock in the middle of nowhere.
