An inland sea created by Ivak's cataclismic fury during the Valterrian, the Suvan Sea is a major trade route and the foremost hub for piracy in Mizahar. [lore]
Vanti Island is found in the Southern Suvan Sea. It is a small island located in the North West, near the entrance of the Middle Suvan Sea. There are no cities or towns on this island, and the only man-made establishment is an old temple situated on a hill. While a grueling flight of stairs leads to the temple, the view from there is magnificent. During the evening, travelers will be able to see the island’s beaches shimmering the same way that the stars in the sky do. The island is so small that from standing on the hill, one is able to look at its entirety.
The temple itself is a place of worship for Laviku and Avalis. Inside the temple are statues of the God and Goddess. There is only one person living on the island, and that is the Konti priestess who resides in a room inside the temple. This priestess will tell travelers that the beauty of the island was a gift from Laviku to Avalis, and whoever will attempt to threaten its beauty, including the temple and its worshippers, will incur Laviku’s wrath. Nobody really knows if she is being truthful, though a few say that this story is only meant to keep her safe.
One of the main reasons people arrive at the island is to pay worship to Laviku and Avalis. Travellers also go to this island to seek temporary refuge, usually from storms. The priestess of the temple turns away nobody, and it is not uncommon to see her tending to hungry or fatigued sailors. There are also those who sail there for the sole reason of seeing the beautiful beaches during the night.
The island has many secrets. Its visitors cannot deny that there is an ethereal feeling upon visiting the island.
NPC List :
Name: K’mavia Race: Konti Description: The kind-hearted priestess named K’mavia has been looking after the island for almost a century now. She knows all its secrets, though she won’t divulge any of them. For instance, many say that she knows why the Adari are attracted to the island, but she will never tell anyone. Instead, she chooses to hide the truth behind fabricated stories. Her stories are always changing, though they are often a source of entertainment for the many visitors of the island.
Name: Adari Description: The Adari are small, glowing jellyfish. They usually do not grow to more than a radius of five inches. They may be found elsewhere, but their numbers are vast around the island. The Adari are often known to be found in the deeper part of the sea, and it is a mystery as to why they make an appearance in the shallow waters of Vanti Island. These creatures are responsible for the way the beaches of the island shimmer at night. The priestess K’mavia forbids anyone from haring these jellyfish, and insists they may only be looked upon.
