Island Spotlight
The island for the month is...
[Distance from Isla Empieza]: A little over two weeks
[Direction from Isla Empieza]: East
[Terrain]: It looks rather like a tack standing on its head. The island has a wide circular base with a single mountain towering up into the air. The force of Davy's Current, the strongest in the ocean, turns the mountain into a double waterfall, water charging uphill one side and down the other. Though the mountain is relatively bare, the base is lush with forests, rivers, houses, and markets
[Weather]: Temperate but moderately so. Though there are a few storms that blow through, for the most part it always feels like a warm spring/early summer day.
[Is the island inhabited?]: Yes.
[If so, what is the culture like here?]: Port Chance is a mishmash of merchants and craftsmen. There is also a cluster of competing ship building companies: two who have an intense rivalry and a third tucked into the back which is sort of an Honest John's Ships 4 Cheep.
As a merchant town, it runs on money. So what and who you are is no problem as long as you don't cause trouble for the locals. You are also in charge of disposing your own bodies.
Also the mayor of the town, and the MC of a particular race that happens once a year, is a pretty chill guy--and his attitude reflects in the rest of the inhabitants for the most part.
[Island peculiarities]: It's the Starting Point and Ending Point of the yearly Great Ghost Race. What kind of race is that? Well, you'll have to wait and see.
