Corbett Island

• • •


Brief Island Description: The island of Corbett has its landscape lined with various mountain ranges that jut from the ground, forming long, winding pathways to the various villages that make its home across the area. The majority of these villages consist of simple farming towns, each working to survive and provide food and resources for themselves. Alongside these villages, situated close to some of the more extravagant mountains, lies the Kingdom of Corbett itself, the capital of the island and home to the Yoake Family, the sovereigns of the realm.

Above, within the sky itself rests an odd gathering of island clouds, inhabited by pitch black birds. These clouds leave the island in perpetual shadows, only moving out of the way once the light of the moon hits across them, making it so that the farms themselves had to change their methods along with the manner of crops that they utilise to compensate for the specific lighting. It is rare for the island to experience any temperature above mild, particularly when it is considered a Winter Island.

Locations:
Corbett Kingdom: The main hub of the society itself, the expansive castle town sees hundreds enter and emerge from the gates daily, with all kinds of characters making their way through the streets themselves. It would be rare for the city to have members who were lower than middle class take residence within its mountainous walls, although many vagrants, transients, thieves and ne-er'do'wells make their homes within the far back of the kingdom, within the hollowed halls of the mountains that they had dug for themselves. The market places for the landscape are always packed, many travellers needing a day to arrive at the castle from the island's coast, would find that the large array of wares can be found, treasure hunters galore make their way towards this place to find unique items and luxurious, foreign wares.

The Yoake Castle, is a massive grounds, housing a grandeur and exuberant manor, lined with servants who await the orders and demands of the main and branch families who dwell within the residence. The castle itself is not open to the public, but various areas of the grounds are, making it a tourist attraction of sorts, even more so when one is able to spot one of the royal family. The current family head is Yoake Tsukiyama, a powerful man, who had once been a Vice Admiral within the Marines before retirement, having currently engaged within the world of politics. He is rarely seen by the common folk, only revealing his face when in the company of the upper crust of the land. The castle itself holds a lot of antiques of Eastern origin, denoting the possibility that the clan's forefathers had once been residents of the East Blue.

Moonlit Laketops: The Moonlit Laketops are the commonly used names of the various lakes that adorn numerous mountain tops. These lakes light up in all their glory once the light of the moon looks down upon them, which is when many flock to them. There are various beaches around them, some even forming sandbars that one may walk in, though they have often been used a dueling posts, the scenic view fueling the intense atmosphere between any two fighters.

Each lake holds a field of mesmerising flowers that form along the mountaintop like a crown, allowing for a more regal presence for the looming mountains. It comes as a tradition for the natives, that once they return to the island after an arduous journey, that they compliment the mountain range with a flower of their own choosing.

These flower fields are home to the Midnight Butterfly. A strange breed of deep purple winged butterflies that flutter and dance within the moonlight, that their wings catch the light off of. It is very common to find people attempting to capture them, despite the islands's natural offense to such an action, many people being incarcerated within their own jail as punishment.

Corbett Skyline Nests: The sky above the serene island is home to a large gathering of a plethtora of exotic birds, each baring dark patterns along their feathers, if not swathed completely in black. These birds, whilst not harmful to the natives, are vicious in their attacks, working in unison to often take away nearby seakings for their own home in eating. It has been said, that many generations ago, a previous Yoake ruler had taken it upon himself to travel out and form a pact with one of the great bird kings. In exchange for a home and people who revere them, they would offer their protection against wide-scale attacks. Accepting this offer, the island clouds shifted and formed their scape above the island, as ever watching overseers.

Few have ventured into the Skyline Nests themselves, but it is wildly believed that birds capable of human tongue are present within the clouds, along with the rumoured existence of the fabled king.

Many festivals held within the island involve leaving seeds or trinkets for the birds to take, as an offer to continue their protection of the islanders, a strong relationship of trust having been born of the two factions. For travellers who venture into the lands, they are warned that the clouds are sacred lands and only those who receive admission from the king, or one of the birds are allowed to travel into their midst. Any who defy these orders or try and gain entry on their own will surely be heralded as enemies to the kingdom. The reason for many attempting to enter being the legend that a massive treasure lies in wait for those who wish it. This legend has yet to be confirmed.
