Llehs Island

Llehs Island is a mysterious island off the shores of Faerûn which appeared to vary its location throughout the years. It was later revealed to be an ancient Dragon Turtle, who served as the home to the Gith that were stranded centuries ago.

## Geography

Llehs Island is relatively small, standing on the shore you can see both adjacent corners. The majority of the island is taken up by thick jungle which will periodically open up into small clearings. There lies a curved mountain region towards one end of the island that forms in the shape of a collar. Due to the nature of the biome and the general location of the island, the weather is typical warm and slightly humid throughout the year.

## Locations

Most of the islands land is unexplored except for two distinct areas. Past the mountainous region know as the Collar Mountains lies the ancient village of the Gith, and on the opposite side of the island is located the small village of Boneshore.

### Boneshore Village

This small village is home to many shipwrecked families who are jubilant to live their new life on the island. It is also the temporary home to Gilliam Wonder as well as of Cole Bleck. The party first arrives to this village in hopes of locating Gilliam and figuring out his status.

### Gith Village

Towards the south end of the island lies the ruins of an ancient civilization. The party discover an ancient colony of enslaved Gith who were shipwrecked hundreds of years prior. What remains now are the ruins of the many stone homes built as well as the main religious structure built for rituals between the Gith colony's leader and the dragon turtle.

## History

LLehs Island has been around for centuries swimming not so far off the shores of Faerûn undisturbed and even undiscovered by most. Only a few cartographers have been able to denote the location of this small mass, however all of these findings vary with no real consensus of where it is.

Over the years rumors spread of a moving island however very few take interest since it is chalked up to be the work of inexperienced cartographers. Rumors also occasionally appear detailing disappearances of entire families who were traveling vessels near this mysterious island. However this too was simply believed to be explained by the difficult currents in the sea. These rumors are what caused renowned artificer and explorer Gilliam Wonder to want to research these claims.

Months later, Gilliam's brother Blund receives a strange letter telling him to no longer care for the whereabouts of his older brother. This is quite unusual since prior he had received various letter detailing Gilliam's journey and research he had obtained on the way to moving island. With this he called to the aid of some of Gilliam's past friends.

The players first arrive to Llehs, on behalf of Blund, hoping to find answers however discover that a man has seemingly taken control over an entire town. This man, named Cole, used a magical pen to convince the people of the island to follow his every command, which included Gilliam. After Cole convinced the town to attack the party, the fled to the hidden ruins of the Gith. It was here where they not only learned the origin of the Gith on the island but also Cole's plan, to take control of the dragon turtle using the magical pen. Unfortunately for Cole his backfired as the dragon turtle was able to see through his scheme and swiftly put an end to him.

## Abilities

Being a dragon turtle, Llehs Island has all the same abilities as one.

A dragon turtle guarded a vast territory that could expand up to 50 square miles (130,000,000 square meters). Other dragon turtles were only permitted to enter the territory of another during mating season. Dragon turtles lived in vast caves under the seafloor or hidden in coral reefs. These lairs were used to store their treasure hoards.

### Diet

Dragon turtles were carnivorous and would eat almost anything in order to satisfy their appetite, even other dragon turtles. If food was in particularly short supply, dragon turtles were known to hunt sea birds using their steam breath attack.

### Languages

Dragon turtles generally spoke Aquan, Draconic, and sometimes Common.

### Usages

High quality dragon turtle scales, those which had not been naturally molted, were highly valued for the production of armor that was both durable and flexible.
