[QUOTE="Amazing Triangle, post: 3307679, member: 39939"] Islands as of now: Heavily Forested Area (Elven Kingdom) Volcano Mountain (Dwarven Forge City) Savage lands (human/reptilian lands) Desert Island (Wild wild west human island) Rajrin - The Dreamy Isle. Its tales have served as building blocks in the creative unconscious of society. However, this island of the mind is more than just a mythical construction… it has appeared in reality, and brings with it a vast wellspring of untapped potential… The Island Closest to Heaven - A rift to the positive energy plane floats above this low-lying atoll. The area within 5 miles of the island has the minor Positive dominant trait. A pillar of light descends from the rift, providing constant illumination (equivalent to moonlight), and creating an area with the Major Positive-dominant trait. The rift is slowly growing, as is the area of the Positive-dominant trait. Darkluck Island - The land here is mysteriously unique.
