Cronus

The hidden island of Cronus is home to the Moebius Order, the first (and last) of the Eight. Due to the high amount of crystallized time on the island, it is almost impossible to reach without sorcery. In addition, chance is turned on its ear, and causality plays fast and loose on Cronus. Gambling has been banned, as dice frequently show impossible results (like 1 on 2d6) and sometimes everybody is dealt a straight flush. The island has no imports, being almost impossible to find, and exports only trained Sorcerers.

Legacy Island

Home to such oddities as the Well of Faith and the Oracle of Fate, Legacy Island is located far to the southwest of, well, everything. Scholars who have visited this uninhabited island believe the artifacts here date to before the development of intelligent life. The few explorers and scholars who have returned from voyages to Legacy Island have noticed ruined structures underwater surrounding the island, which may be the remains of the lost continent of Mu.

Xyx

Found to the northeast of the Karnhanar peninsula, this island is home to a tribe of degenerate, cannibalistic Ktaln. Each year the Xyxians attempt to storm Karnhanar and the Sovereign Democracy of Grand Ktal, carrying away any prisoners they manage to capture to be eaten. Both Karnhanar and Grand Ktal have a small posted bounty on Xyxians, identified by their mottled black pelts and hair (believed to a be symptom of the disease they suffer from, caused by eating their own dead).

Kirdan

The forest island of Kirdan is home to a pair of warring tribes of elves. Although they have the potential for elven magic, these savage tribes are so far from the elven Balance that they lack the focus to use their innate powers. The Kirdun tribe controls the east side of the island, while the Kurdan tribe controls the west. Both tribes ride Green forest Diatramys, a subspecies native to the island.

Vaurgan

The volcanic island of Vaurgan is a smuggler's island. Used as a stopping point between various ports on both continents, the island is located in the eastern reaches of the World Sea. Despite the active volcano, an active shipyard repairs and outfits smugglers and pirate vessels alike. Fire Elemental Stones are fairly common here, and the island boasts several powerful Fire Sorcerers.
