Collaborative Runeshadow Isle

## Game Notes

Shortly after the game begins, you are going to be reaching a tropical island with dark blue sand beaches, thick jungles and an active volcano on the island. The island is named Runeshadow Isle and I know that humans , elves , and sahuagin , (think the sahagin northwest of Aleport in Final Fantasy IX) live there. Other races might to, but I want to do some collaborative world building about the humans, elves and sahuagin (sah-HWAH-gin) about Runeshadow and Runeshadow Isle if everyone is up for that. And to do that, I'm going to have us go round robin and I'm going to tell you all one thing that is true for the island and then have each of you make up a fact about it for me as well. Then we will get to the races and do the same thing. Your fact can be about what things look like, about any quirks or history or any detail about them that doesn't contradict anything anyone else has said.

Wow talk about things going in an amazing direction I wasn't expecting. The elves are not the "good" race of this island. LOL. The humans are not so much either but they are being exploited and they in turn are abusing the sahuagin I think. The elven village isn't going to be elven. Its going to be a human village. Not where the Resistance lives either. But a group of human fishermen and farmers of Covetown who serve the elves of the capital city of Myla Taesi. Its about twenty human families and the trading post. They worship Ninniach. There are very few children in this fishing village and everyone is going to be extremely subservient to Elle specifically but have very little to offer in the way of treasure.

The biggest asset that the adventurers will get out of this village is information and assistance in finding Lanceroot to counteract the Krakenblood poison they have all consumed thanks to the Demonbound sorcerers who brought them here.

Worked on The Elves, most specifically the Island Elves and developed a bit of Terra Alta Elven language as well as social customs/holidays/rituals for them.
