Isle Iticah

Isle Iticah was an island located somewhere a couple hours (by dragon speed) west of Ulia. Somewhat hidden, the island was at one point a botanical paradise, with the famed Itcathina Forest being found there. This was possible due to the island having an Eternal Tree, and while it made the island's fauna and flora prosper, it also attracted a dark evil to its shores. At some point in the last 200 years, The Black Thorns arrived on the island and immediately made it their base of operations for their witchcraft and dark worship of the Fallen God Kurval.
Slowly corrupting the Eternal Tree over a hundred years, the cult turned the once beautiful island into a twisted, foreboding place where none ventured due to the nightmarish landscape within.
In the climax of The Hungering Thorns Arc, Higa almost succeeded in destroying the Eternal Tree and, in conjunction with forcefully draining Gaius' Elemental power, came catastrophically close to unleashing Kurval upon the world. This was foiled by the combined forces of the Dragons, Hydras, Taylor, Absolus, Ilona and even Trauma, with additional divine intervention from Solarius. Gaius would ultimately give his life to restore the Eternal Tree, an act of pure selfless sacrifice that granted him a great boon; He was resurrected within the realm of Gaiya herself, and from there, would join the others who came before him and also made the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of preserving nature in guiding the natural world's growth from the source.
Due to the total eradication of The Black Thorns, there is now only one person left on the island, Grandma Retra who survived the battle due to being a Lich. With the Eternal Tree restored, the island has begun recovering at last.
