## A Lonely Island

Wwarfel *(waar-fell)* Island, commonly known as Wwarfel, is a small island off the coast of the Western Kingdoms. It is inhabited by Randanian immigrants and the Wwarfelian natives, who live in a theocracy worshiping the god Endel. The current religious leader, more commonly known as an Omin, is Raath Uindir, and leads under the Endelian religion.

## Society

The people who live in Wwarfel follow their traditions and are largely conservative. This consists of being highly anti-immigration, whether it be people entering the island or people leaving. The immigrating Randanians fled to a southern town named Jior, where they are isolated from the rest of the island.

Their main course consists of Buffalo Meat, which are hunted in the wide plains of the island. The people of Ea are considered the most prestigious and wealthy, as they are in the same place where the Omin lives. Their time scale is measured by BE, Before Endel, and LOE, Life of Endel.

The language of the island consists of two soft and loud tones. Whether the speaker talks softly or loudly determines what words mean. Their writing is ancient and its script has been preserved, making it extremely difficult for people to assimilate into the Wwarfelian lifestyle.

## History

The history of Wwarfel is one of the more younger on Arenon. The first recordings of any Wwarfel are in the ancient crypts of the Divinity Tomb, now known as the Mausoleum of Chaos, in 368 AE. It depicts people landing on the western shore of the island, becoming nomads until eventually reaching the center of the island.

The city of Ea was created during 106 AE by the original Wwarfelians who are unnamed. Having grand, ornate buildings with iconic orange spires, the city is the most populous on the island. Its main attraction, the Rana Karka, was built in 52 AE and is the gigantic palace where the Omin lives.

After finishing Ea, soldiers went further east and founded the Neare Harbor, the island's main trading center. After establishing this outpost, a fleet of five ships were built to protect the island from intruders. These ships are still preserved today and are on display in the docks of Neare.

The Divinity Tomb was found by Wwarfelian scouts circa 15 AE. It seems to be older than any of the new inhabitants of the island, and was said to have unknown power. This had attracted many of the inhabitants as well as some Randanians, which created the town of Jior in 18 GA. After a pair of adventurers, known as the Kindled to the Wwarfelians, entered and successfully reached the end of the Tomb in 124 GA. The god known as Endel awoken from his slumber. The adventurers' minds were taken over and became angels, who are known as Yu and Opi respectively. The angels, known as the Harbingers, traveled the island to spread the belief of Endelism.

Endel became a nationwide sensation, and the first Omin was named under the oath of Endel in 156 GA. For centuries, the leadership of the Omin has been passed along, and the current Omin, Raath Uindir, is critically acclaimed by all believers.

In 654 GA, Wwarfel signed a defensive pact with the Republic of Eorn. Their Premier, Erzo Edge, is currently being taught Dharn under Uindir. The people of Wwarfel grew to like Edge despite their nationalism, as he appreciates their religion to the extent of following its teachings.
