Sandemar's Island

As it was already mentioned, that this was the first island where humans built their settlements. The first and biggest of them has been named Voland. Voland is nowadays a small town focused mainly on fishing. There´s just a small garrison, which is mostly guarding only the mountain road as it occasionally, brings various thieving dangerous creatures to the town’s doorstep. There are also vast fields and plantations within the suburbs and in surrounding areas - they represent a secondary source of food for the town inhabitants.

The island is only about 30 miles in width. A great mountain stretches from its middle to its north-eastern shores. Rumour says that it’s inhabited by Goblin tribes. The western part of the island is covered in forest, which gets thicker and thicker due to the weathers of the central part of the island, eventually becoming an almost impassable wall of vegetation. Those who don´t know the roads well enough are deemed to get lost in a blink of an eye.

Deep within the forest dwell various dangerous monsters. Giant spiders have been allegedly spotted lurking and attacking unlucky travellers. Some claim that, there´s an elderly druid living within the denser parts of the forest, but since no one has really seen him, it may be considered as a pure myth. In the middle of the forest is also a small lake, in which, according to one local legend, should be a hidden treasure. It’s said that this contains the gold of a greedy merchant, who, a hundred years ago, wanted to evade the upcoming extra pre-war taxation of his well-earned riches. The offspring of this merchant have promised a fair share from the treasure to anyone, who might be able to get their Father’s treasure back to them. Even though that many have already tried, the treasure is yet still to be found. Inhabitants of Voland nowadays mostly tend to disbelieve the whole story.

The northern part of island is also covered by forest, which is no different from any other normal forests found on the surrounding islands. The only remarkable thing about it is that there may be an overgrown bear that guards its expansive territory. At least that´s what people of Voland say (mostly to discourage their children from getting too close or deep into the forest).
