Isle of Menera

---

A small number of peoples are forced to evacuate the city state of Garsalle before the forces of Haerlin surrounded it by land and sea in a siege that could last for several years. Either wise or war-weary, the people boarded a ship with all of their possessions that they could carry and supplies for survival in any distant land where they would be welcome.

After two weeks of sailing, the captain (being young and wreckless), passed too closely to a coral reef. The hull was breached with a small but irreparable hole, and the passengers and sailors were forced to abandon the ship. Using the sinking ship's ample life boats, almost all personal goods where moved to the shore of a nearby island before only the prone ship's stern was all that remained above the turquoise waves.

While lush and vegetated, there did not seem to be any native inhabitants on the island. You can hear birds singing in the temperate air, and there is a distant crashing sound of a waterfall. Is this the peaceful sanctuary that you have been seeking out for months?

You are one of these people on the beach of the large island. You do not know where Garsalle is on the horizon. Strangely enough, no one can quite recall or agree exactly what the young captain looked like.

Welcome to the Isle of Menera.
