Monster Island

Monster Island was an island located about two days travel by ship from Durmando, Millisymph; its exact location was known to very few.
It was virtually uninhabited until people were brought there by ships in the early days of the Trynser-Zazimar War.  These people included centaurs, fox-people, goblins, half-orcs, ogres, orcs, thalosian humans, and other "non-standard" humanoid races and people. Told they were being rescued from the Monster Purge, many later suspected them being transported was actually part of the purge, especially as they were left with relatively few tools and weapons to defend themselves.  A number of them did not survive.
On Flowering 34 (Reckoning)/Gillihís 34 (Sidía) 1739, The ship Dream Lady was caught in a storm and landed on the to them unknown island. The islanders, in spite of barely surviving, offered them food. In exchange, the crew gave them tools and knives, more food, and pure water, spending the next day using manual labor and magic to revive a well and increase the growth of edible plants.
On Heris 37 (Godsday)/Scotís 37 (Undía) of 1739, the ship El Portador del Cartel that had been sent to Monster Island arrived.  Staying for about a week, the crew and passengers helped to further improve the situation of the residents, and also offered to transport those who wanted to leave. It having been their home for a while, and having been significantly improved, many decided to stay. But some left, most of them settling either in a more tolerant area of Millisymph, particularly in or near Milspar, or in or near the cosmopolitan Trynser City.
As of early 1742, the location of the island is a little-known secret.
