Jawaii

Off the coast of Izlude lies the small tropical island of **Jawaii**: famous vacation and honeymoon spot. Whether it’s drinking and meeting people at the singles bar, or reliving your wedding / honeymoon, Jawaii offers all these and more.

There are rooms with four different themes where couples can share their intimate moments. Although the Rune-Midgarts Kingdom prohibits alcoholic beverages, you can have alcohol in the tavern in Jawaii. (Warning: Excessive drinking during your honeymoon can cause you to have a huge fight with your spouse.)

## Geography

Jawaii consists of 2 small islands. About half of the bigger island is beach with a special heart-shaped island just off the coast for special photographic occasions. The entire archipelago is accessible to married couples, but unmarried singles are restricted to the tavern.

Jawaii is split into two tropical islands located in the Alberta territory. Villagers live peacefully on Jawaii’s Love Island to the north where a volcano eruption created high vista views perfect for lovers to enjoy! The closeness to Frigg’s heart keeps the island warm and comfortable. To make it to Love Island you must first traverse Ocean Island. Once there, locals may tell you of a legend of a wonderland trail once overrun with adventurers that has now been sealed closed. Perhaps you can discover the truth behind the rumors…

Around the island, Frigg’s marks are still visible.

## History

500 years ago, the kind and loving goddess Frigg fought to save the world from suffering. Despite her best efforts, she could not end all suffering in the world. Her heart grew weak and it became too hard for her to bear. To end her suffering she removed her heart and banished it to an icy prison out in the middle of the ocean where no one would ever disturb it. However, her heart was still warm and began to melt the ancient glacier, eventually creating a beautiful pair of islands.

As more and more people were married in the Rune-Midgarts Kingdom, they longed for a romantic place where they could take a vacation alone with their new husbands and wives. As officiator of wedding ceremonies in Rune-Midgarts, Tristan Gaebolg III recognized the need for such a place and ordered for the development of a lover’s paradise, the beautiful, heart-shaped island now known as Jawaii. However, it has also been said that the king has high hopes that this new island will bring much revenue to the Kingdom’s Treasury. Nevertheless, Tristan III is a ruler blessed with kindness, generosity and, perhaps, shrewdness.

At the time of Ragnarok, Frigg hid Jawaii to protect it from the onslaught of war.

Years later, a portal suddenly opened in Alberta and workers began to vanish! King Reinhart Gaebolg sent groups to search for the missing workers, but all failed to find the missing men. Out of nowhere, one worker returned and told of a magical Wonderland he had been transported to…
