Lysha Isle is the home of one of many nodes of power that can be used as the foundation for fortified outposts, used to protect powerful obelisks. Mount Puriaken, found on the eastern edge of the island, is rich in limestone and provides travelers with an excellent view of the entire island. The Aike River flows through the grasslands in the center of the isle, but is foul and tainted and causes nausea in those who wade into its waters. A nearby cavern is home to a village of elves and lamirans.
Notable Denizens
- Kiesti, an outcast nixie -
- Saeyisto - Dressed in shimmering silver robes that are tied tightly with a nacre hued belt, this elderly man is obviously one dedicated to religion. He is the caretaker of a Church devoted to Lianthe.
- Neiren - Barely five feet tall, this imposing woman exudes an air of authority with each quick paced action. Her skin a beautiful light sapphire tint, this lamiran woman is covered from head to toe in food and sweat stains. Her cobalt tresses are tied back at the nape of her neck, and her bright crystal hued eyes move quickly around the kitchen. She is responsible for cooking food in the commune, but also sells some of her wares to travelers, including:
- a lily shaped bar of soap
- a bowl of oyster gumbo
- a bowl of mussel chowder
- a lilac scented candle
- a nacre hued candle
- a small bag of sea salts
- a flask of mead
- a canteen of tequila
- an oyster salad
- pasta topped with mussel sauce
- an oyster and mussel entree
- Jaiyn - With a soft smile, and softer features, the once vibrant blue skin of this elderly lamiran woman has faded into a pale sapphire. Running along the side of her neck and on her wrists are fins of the same hue, as well as webbing between her fingers and toes. Curly white hair falls down to her chin, and sapphire eyes peer out of her soft face, above midnight blue lips.
- Pendar - An elderly sylayan man found on the southern beach of Lysha Isle. Bright brown eyes are set within his aged face, his tasseled brown hair has been kept short, and peppered bristles seem to grow within his day old beard. His slightly pointed, tanned ears blend well with his dark hair.
Flora and Fauna
- a bushy tailed swift fox - The lithe form of this small swift fox is covered in a thick, silky coat of red fur. Pointed ears jut out from the top of its near feline head, beady black eyes resting at the top of its narrow muzzle. Its feet are covered in black boot-like patches of fur, and the onyx color also resides on the tips of its ears. A bushy tail extends outwards from its body, and the hair almost creates an elongated circle to encase the tail. A bushy tailed swift fox is quite powerful. It weighs about 100 pounds.
- an iridescent limpet - The beautiful oval shaped shells of these limpets are a stunning mix of brown, black, orange, pink, yellow, and white, which blend to create an iridescent shine whenever hit by light. The inside of the shell is a nacre hue, the bodies of the limpets are a soft, gooey silver texture. Numerous tentacles seem to crawl out of the body of the limpet, however, they are just further extensions and indentions of the shell itself. An iridescent limpet is a humble-looking creature. It is strangely weightless.
- a colorful sea anemone - This anemone is little more than a small sac attached to the bottom of the tidal pool here, its column-shaped body ending in an oral disc that creates the illusion of a lovely flower with numerous small arms. The mouth of the anemone is in the center of the oral disc, surrounded by beautiful, colourful tentacles which are armed with poison. A colourful sea anemone is a humble-looking creature. It is strangely weightless.
- a corpulent harlequin duck - Slate blue feathers cover the stout body of this small harlequin duck. Though short in stature, the bird is large in girth, obviously well fed. Chestnut hued feathers grace its plump sides, a white crescent at the base of its onyx bill and at the center of its back. Small circular white patches can be seen an inch away from the duck's beady eyes, marking the animal's ears. Flat, webbed feet are the same dark tint of the bill and are strong enough to allow the duck to move quickly over any surface. A corpulent harlequin duck exudes a quiet confidence. It weighs about 43 pounds.
- a pink oyster - The barnacle is almost heart shaped, clamping together at the back, and softly parting near the front to reveal the soft body of the oyster within. Overlapping numerous times, the hard brown shell of the oyster cannot easily be broken. The small glimpse of the inside of the barnacle shows a pink, nacre hued inner shell and a silver body. A pink oyster is a humble-looking creature. It weighs 1 ounce.
- a beautiful starfish - A radiant starfish softly spins here against the rocks and waters of the sea. Softly tinted ruby tones shoot through the five ethereal pink arms of the silky animal, each of which extend gracefully from the starfish's central disc. A beautiful starfish appears to lack strength. It weighs 8 ounces.
Quests and Activities
