I must tell you... if there is one continent on Norrath that interests the eyes of Vhalen it's the island continent of Odus. The events that occurred on Odus are magically astounding and epic to say the least. No place on Norrath has undergone changes like those to be found on Odus. We have yet to learn of the events that took place and the outcome of those events. Odus has been isolated for so very long. We should all be eager to discover the wonders of Odus, but we should also be very wary. The island of Talysra's Paw This island actually exists as part of a grouping of isles known as the Isles of Ebb. I will try and send you some lore on the whole island chain some time, but here is a bit about the island in question. This is a small blurb from early design, enjoy: o Talysra’s Paw This is the largest island of the chain. A small volcano mount sits on the island. This island has a bumpy wide sand bar running along the north half of it. The sand bar’s four high points are always above water and give the island the appearance of a massive cat’s paw. The Kerran’s who have come to inhabit this island are a secluded sect of the Kerran society. They have named the island after their newly found cat god, Talysra. They have also built a small village called Talys on the island. The densest woods of Aqua Palms appear here as do the regional flower and coconut trees. A small fissure in the side of the small volcanic mount has a tiny trickling floe of lava that seeps down to the northeast corner of the island where it runs into the water and creates vapor. Oh wow, and here is a bit about the actual village on the island. Some of this lore may never be seen, but I hope you enjoy the original write up: o Talys This is the only village in the sea and is a frequent stop of sailing vessels. The village is inhabited by a secluded sub tribe of Kerran’s calling themselves the Laahr. These Kerrans have come to study their roots and unlike the Kerrans of Kerra Ridge, they worship a new found deity known to few Kerrans. The village is small but has adequate facilities for any traveler. There is an inn located across a bamboo bridge and on one of the islands sand bar isles. A gnome from the Academy of Arcane Science, Professor R.J. Skittlewit, has come to Talys to challenge his wits of engineering by providing the natives with contraptions made out of the natural materials and employing natural resources. Machines exist such as a mill made of bamboo and reeds powered by the steam vent of the volcanic fissure. There is a vault also created by the gnome for adventurers to store supplies, allow for banking and store export goods. The Laahr have built a dock and supply outriggers for rent. It may be a bit more than you see in the Age of Turmoil, but here it is: o Isle of the Dead Long ago, in secrecy, the --------- placed the crypts of the most evil mortals of the time on this island. The island appears as a rocky island surrounded by jagged rocks. The topdown view of the island is that of a skull. Massive stone totems were placed on the shoreline to ward away the curious and keep in any evil spirits. There is an ancient mortuary and tomb for five ------- and -------. A small temple was eventually built on the island. This temple hides the -----------. The entrance is sealed by magic placed upon a massive stone disc that must be rolled aside before one can gain entry. There is one long wide passage that tells the story of the island through images. There is a center chamber with ----------. There is ------ in the middle that is used to ---------. There are many ------ in -----. Each passage tells the history of the vile acts committed by the mortal whose tomb lies at the end of the passage. Many -------- guard the inside of the tomb. The topside of the island is guarded by evil itself, evil specters and apparitions to repel any who wish to gain entry into the tombs. </font></font></font><div></div><p>Message Edited by Zabjade on <span class="date_text">05-01-2006</span> <span class="time_text">06:44 AM</span></p><p>Message Edited by Zabjade on <span class="date_text">05-01-2006</span> <span class="time_text">06:47 AM</span></p><p>Message Edited by Zabjade on <span class=date_text>05-01-2006</span> <span class=time_text>06:50 AM</span>
