Feoras is a land of great beauty and great sorrow. In ancient times, the isolated island was its own world, warring, celebrating, and living by its own rules. Its first contact with the outside world was violent, but it resulted in the assimilation of the invader culture into its own. However, this would not be the trend and the next encounter ended with Feoras being the assimilated party. For centuries, it was subjugated by Demonessian masters until the modern age brought with it change: enormous destruction, followed by brief freedom and then patronizing stewardship.

The island suffered from poverty, but there was still beauty to be found. While its five remaining ethnicities live in an enforced peace, the tourist areas benefit from the economic boon and generate a false sense of wealth. Tourists are attracted by Mauna Inaka, the volcanic center of the island, and the black sand beaches she generated. The gentle slope of the continental shelf allows swimmers to wade into a seemingly endless sea and walk up to boats parked in the shallows. Its coral reefs are untouched in certain parts of the island and the fauna found there are unmatched.

With the economy centered around the tourism trade, it is hard to leave the main areas. However, the adventurous tourist may find other ways to pass the time. The Genfiotes in the south control the tourism areas, making sure they are clean and presentable, as do their neighbors in Ahi'iana. The Genfiotes, however, present a curiosity: their religious leaders, known as the Undying. These leaders dress entirely in grey and cover their faces with a mask and veil. When they speak, they speak as if they are not an individual; they speak as if they are from a collective consciousness, which can be unnerving for some. In Fuwoku, one can find the farmers, who toil away in the dirt and respect animals as much as humans. For the adventurous, there is Kain, a land of warriors where the leader is determined through battle prowess. While Mpali represents the industrialized portion of the island, Isis certainly fairs the best as the seat of the former colonial masters.

Humanitarians may seek to provide relief from poverty and criminals may find a new foothold, but tourists, explorers, and travelers may find adventure.

"I did," Liko replied with slight annoyance. "You said call."

Andrei glared at the man, unamused, "I asked you to call to see when zey would be here. I did not know zat zey were not coming unless you told zem." He sighed angrily and stood up, "So it looks like we are going to go meet zem now. On your feet."

Liko knew better than to try to argue with someone who had recently beat him. However, he did sigh as he asked, "Where?" He paused as he thought about it. "Luana want us to find Polunu. She is gone. Don't know when-" He pointed to his feet because he could not think of the proper word.

Andrei stared down at the man for a long moment before speaking. "So, let me get zis straight. Your boss, ze person who wanted you to find Polunu, just moves around and you do not know where to find zem or how to contact zem?" he replied, not quit understanding who would think this was a good idea, "How were you supposed to report back?"

"House," Liko admitted. The rest was purely an oversimplification. Luana stated that she would return the next evening as she needed to deal with their Apostate contacts down at the docks and see if she could salvage the deal. She went alone, which he thought was odd, but Kimo had insinuated the traitor hadn't been Polunu after all and paid for it, so Liko left that alone and obeyed orders.

"So you were supposed to meet her at some house at some point?" Andrei said, after spending a long moment trying to figure out what he meant from just that single word, "Well, zis is just great. Is zere anyone who might know where she is we could see?" Andrei was starting to become even more irritated with the man; it didn't seem like he could help him find Vlad's kidnapper after all. And if he couldn't, Andrei had no reason to stick around.

Liko shrugged; he certainly wasn't going to disclose that she'd gone to see the Apostates. That was a whole different mess of trouble and he didn't want to get anywhere near them. They'd shot up the docks and still managed to get away despite what appeared to be the entire police force present. Besides, he still didn't have motivation to help this man, despite a supposed reward; the man had beaten him up, so he doubted there was one.

Liko considered asking for a reward again, but he thought that it would only serve to make the man angrier and he didn't want to be beaten again. He knew two ways to get a hold of Luana - take him to see the Apostates, and he knew where to find her contact, and by calling her cell phone - but he was willing to do neither at this point. He decided he could take him to find one of the other gang members, maybe even Kimo, and be rid of him then. He shrugged at Andrei.

Andrei was quickly tiring of Liko, and his simple shrug only served to anger Andrei even further. So in a fit of rage, he lashed and grabbed by Liko by the throat, half pulling the man up and half bending over until their faces were only inches apart. "I want an actual answer," he snarled, before letting go and shoving Liko back down onto the pavement.
