Bloodwake Madness Island

Bloodwake Madness Island is a corrupted island of a fairly large size. It is full of Dark Rubian crystals which glow an eerie red light, causing the waters surrounding the island to turn a bloodred color, thus giving the island its name.

The capital city of the island is Chronoport, which is a fishing community near the southern beaches. The rubian-mutated fish in the water are both delicious and addictive, but eating too much can induce madness. Nevertheless, there are more than enough people who care not about their own health to keep the fishermen of Chronoport well-funded. East of Chronoport is Chronus Meadow, the single area on the island where green vegetation grows healthily. There was once a pirate base for the Bloodwake Pirates built in the center of the meadow, but they were later driven away.

North of Chronoport is Bloodleaf Forest, a frightening forest where the Dark Rubian has polluted the trees into becoming a bloodstained color. The air of the forest is heavily polluted, and it is infested with mutant spider creatures. Occasionally a Friarie is sighted within the woods, but this may be hallucinations brought on by the Dark Rubian pollution.

West of the Bloodleaf Forest are the Elric Mountains, a small mountain chain that was once a settlement of humans, but were later conqured and claimed by a tribe of Ogres. The mountains are free from pollution thanks to their high elevation. Southwest of the mountains are the High Lowlands, where a few farming communities of humans manage to scrape by a living.

The beaches north of the island are known as Nightshores, and are inhabited by a large tribe of Ecreekem. It is known for its oddly black trees and sand, and the odd radiation from the south sides of the island clouds the skies of the Nightshores perpetually, giving it an appearence of constant night. It is rumored that unspeakable creatures from the depths of the ocean rise up from the abyss to stalk Nightshores. North of Nightshores is a small island known as the Lost Caverns. A confusing cavern where spacenes has been warped, creating a complex and nonsensical series of tunnels. Although many have entered the island caverns, few have escaped alive - or with their sanity.

Off the west coast of the island are the Labyrinth Reefs, complex rock formations and coral growths that make approaching from the west side of the island nearly impossible.

The southern coast has a bridge that leads to a man-made island known as the Tower Crypt, which is a gigantic pillar full of graves and mausoleums. Those few aristocrats who are not buried at sea often have their remains entombed within the crypts.
