Roaring Isle

The Roaring Isle (Thyngtale: Ynys Ruol, Eilat: The Island of Aemis) is a single island on the northeast of Kylorne divided by mountains. It is estimated to be the largest, or second-largest island on the continent depending on one’s view on the Handel being a river or a strait, with a largely undocumented size of around 800,000 m2.
==Etymology==
The name of the Roaring Isle derives from the Thyngtale name of Ynys Ruol, which pertain to the wide and unrelenting thunderstorms that gather around the island every few days. "Ynys" being the name of land, and "Ruol" roughly describing thunder.
The Island of Aemis is named after the Eilatian god of weather and nature.
==Geography==
===Climate===
The Roaring Isle's climate is mostly temperate and oceanic, with wild and extreme tendencies pertaining to its weather, which produces regular thunderstorms throughout most seasons. Its east shore is significantly warmer than other areas of similar latitudes.
===Environment===
The narrow Strait of Mor separates the Roaring Isle from the rest of the continent, running for about 800 meters along the isle’s shore. Near the southern border is a small settlement belonging to Vernal Locke called Crossroads, which leads directly into the Fyddskoal - a large, muddy forest covering most of the southwestern part of the island. It arches around the beginning of the Ruol Plateaus, split into two by a lush pass where the township of Thyngfald is located. Both parts of the plateau are called Bryndmunn and Kylefmunn in Thyngtale, and Mount Thesarae and Naveer according to Eilate priests.
== History ==
=== Prehistory and protohistory ===
The Roaring Isle was not always the home of vicious storms - it was home to many disparate people who built homes nearby or inside the rock formations scattered around its rolling highlands. They built monoliths and rings of stone for gatherings and rituals, and have relied on hunting and fishing for food. Torn tapestries with symbols of unrecognizeable beasts and symbols of the world's sun remained from several tribes, long lost to history.
=== Naxholme and Einsiedeln period ===
=== The Solemnity ===
The Solemnity - a man-made arcane disaster touched upon most of Einsiedeln, including the Roaring Isle, which destroyed most civilization within the region and killed most, if not all of its population. Those who have survived and bore witness to it have described the Bryndmunn plateau as being struck with countless lightning bolts, blinding the residents and tearing apart every bit of land in its wake. This event scarred the island for years to come, resulting in unrelenting thunderstorms occuring often, and rendering it barely inhabitable to many who have attempted to settle there.
=== Ynys Ruol ===
During the Solemnity, a group of outcasts from the north, called the Smethyngs has reached close proximity to the Roaring Isle during their long voyage. The thunderstorms that persisted around it caused their ship to crash, and their people to wash away on the shores of the Roaring Isle. They found refuge within its heartlands, now known as Thyngfald, and promptly named the island Ynys Ruol, from which the Roaring Isle derives its name.
