Island. Fishmen.

🗺 See this place on the map ↗

The continent's southernmost green island — fertile, well watered, and the last place in the game you should ever make landfall. Everything in the town is still exactly where it was left; only the people who built it are gone. What lives there now drags you away, and nobody who has been dragged away has come back.

History

• Fish Isle started out as a small walled outpost, was judged worth expanding, and was then abandoned very abruptly — supplies still lie where they were dropped, and no text anywhere accounts for what happened.
• The Island Lab in the south-west is an ancient ruin that still turns up the occasional AI Core; King Gurgler sits inside it.
• Almost everyone who sets foot on this island comes for the same reason: word that there is a Meitou blade here.
