Nameless Island

**Nameless Island** is a mysterious island off the coast of the Arunafeltz Peninsula. The island may appear charmingly beautiful under the sunlight, but its true nature is revealed after the sun sets: eerie groans can be heard over the walls of the monastery where visiting Monks and Priests have inexplicably vanished. The truth and the terror of the monastery will be revealed in the darkness of the night.

## Background

**Some secrets should never be discovered...**

Legends tell the tale of tragedy and horror.

Once there was an island far off the coast of Arunafeltz. It is said that a man came across this island in hopes of running away from his past and starting a new life. Soon, a small number learned of this island and they too traveled here seeking rebirth. A community was slowly established with a few small houses here and there. Only one building stood out, the monastery at the center of the island. A place of faith and worship, a place where they could hope for Freyja's divine absolution from their past sins. Time passed and the community was able to get by peacefully.

Until one fateful day…

On a stormy night, a small boat mistakenly made its way to the island. The boat lay in ruins but its passenger survived. This man was a criminal. As this man looked around, an evil smile began to form on his face. He has found refuge – a place to escape from the hands of justice. He spread the word to his fellow criminals. They could now commit any crime they want and should they need to escape, this island would hide them until the heat has passed.

And so it began... The criminals went about their sinful existence and sought the island for refuge. They would bring stolen goods and treasure, and even store it at the monastery itself! They mercilessly took control of the inhabitants – they looted the and killed any one who stood in their way. They would abuse all the women of the island and would torture or enslave anyone. Blood continued to spill and the island slowly became wrapped in an aura of vengeful malice. They say a blood mist started to form around the island which grew thicker and thicker. It almost seemed to choke the island itself.

One day, people from Arunafeltz claimed that they saw an eerie glow in the sea… along with it was a faint sound of what seemed like a whole village screaming. From then on, the island was said to have disappeared.

For years, the island could not be found, until recently. Now there are rumors saying that the island has reappeared once again. Many treasure hunters attempted journeying to the island in search of hidden treasures. Many disappeared forever. The few who returned, however, lost their sanity from fright. Muscled bandits turned into blabbering idiots speaking of curses and evils.

The Island has returned from the other world. Should you choose to go there, traveler, heed my words:

**"Abandon all hope if you choose to enter! What awaits is an evil beyond imagination! Can you survive the horrors of the Nameless Island?"**

## Cursed Monastery

The monastery on the island used to be a working monastery, but it eventually was converted into a Rael prison. It is unsure why this is so.

## Trivia

* Nameless Island may possibly be based on Poveglia, a small island located between Venice and Lido in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy that is said to be haunted by former inhabitants that died there.
