Maernie

Maernie, historically called Salew, is an island off the coast of Renesphey, across the Salewan Pass (Saleàux) in the Sea of Memory. This island used to be inhabitted by the Salewans during the Salewan Invasion of Renesphey, and disappeared after the raiders were pushed off the land. A few years after the Arrival of the Anoshphites, the island suddenly rose again, with twenty seven pillars of stone holding it above the sea level. It's mysterious nature and unknown origin are a hub of research, and its location on the mouth of the Sea of Memory makes it a strategically important location. Plans for the construction of a fort have been made, but the location of the island make it hard for finding and bringing supplies.
== Etymology ==
The name Maernie was given to the island when the Anoshphites found it resurfaced. It comes from Inèa va Arrórýen (Neo-Anoshphite) conlang meaning Sea Ruin, with "màer" means "sea" and "níe" means "ruin".
== History ==
The island doesn't have much history by itself, but it has been used in the past by the Salewans to raid and pillage the coast of Renesphey in ancient history. During that period, the island was home to pirates, raiders, mercenaries, and slavers. After the Salewans lost their continental holdings to the Aitamar Gilded State and the Shepherds group, they fled back to the island. Mysteriously, the island then sunk into the Sea of Memory, only to surface once again when the Anoshphites had arrived in the lands of Renesphey.
It was then discovered by an Anoshphite fisher, Elise, and was added to the realm of Renesphey as a property of the Shyhe and the Renesphey Admiralty. The fort was then fully designed, but it hasn't been built due to the difficulty of bringing the heavy calcite and diorite to the island by ship.
