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.

Yamamoto wrote a note that she would need to investigate that further once she was done with Vlad. "She gave you directions on how to get to the beach. Did she give you any additional instructions about the bag? Do you have any idea why what her motivations might have been? You spent several hours with her."

"She just told me to give ze bag to ze police. Nozing else," Vlad said, then went silent for a few long moments as he thought about Yamamoto's second question. "I zink zat for zose hours she was mostly concerned wiz finding her sister. I do not zink she was particularly happy wiz her sister kidnapping me or disappearing," Vlad said finally, "I am sorry zat I am not of more help."

"No, you've done enough," Yamamoto replied. "Just one last question: are you sure she didn't tell you where she or her sister planned to head after this?"

Vlad sighed at that, "If I had any idea where zey might be going, I would have told you. I do not have ze slightest clue."

"She didn't say anything about where she might find her sister, what they were doing here, or where she would go?" Yamamoto knew she was asking questions in circles, but this case was more frustrating that she anticipated. Kidnappings usually ended with kidnappers arrested because they didn't know how to set up a drop properly or didn't realize their payment was tracked or, in the worse cases, with the kidnapped dead. Vlad's case was unusual and she was still trying to get her bearings on how to approach it.

"No. Not zat I can recall anyway; when we spoke to each ozer she purposely avoided talking about zings zat could help figure out who she was," Vlad replied. He was truly sorry that he couldn't help the police anymore, after all the woman was a criminal. The fact that she'd treated him nicely and just let him go didn't change that fact; Vlad wasn't stupid enough to believe that.

Yamamoto nodded. "I think that wraps up our questioning then. I'd still like to have you checked out by a doctor at a proper facility, but since you're in no pain now that can wait until you've spent some time with your brother.
