Notable Places

The Isle of Micen is a large-ish island in the southern hemisphere at around -40o latutide. The island is formed around a permanent massive volcano caused by pseudo-magical technology around six million years ago. The volcano erupts in regular intervals, exactly at the beginning of each mɪɾɪ.

The Unclaimed Ground (uθ ɹəθ ɛθluðiɹ)
The ‘unclaimed ground’ refers to the pit within the volcano, which fills partly with the rain and creates a habitat that remains free of traditional territorial claims by the clans.

The Temple Impermanent (uθ adðijɐɹ k’oɾakhatɛ)
A temple, built again each mɪɾɪ, at the very centre of the unclaimed ground. The temple has no truly permanent residents, but many people do reside there functioning in a similar manner to priests. It serves as a place of training for young tonɑnwinɔwɑlɛg, a place of pilgrimage, and the setting for very rare and special ceremonies.

The Mist (uθ zunɪmo)
The Isle of Micen is surrounded at some distance by a massive ring of thick fog referred to as The Mist. It is pseudo-magical in origin, like the volcano. It prevents the volcanic ash and smoke from escaping, forcing it to cover the ocean and the island.

During an eruption, the island’s inhabitants, as well as the mobile organisms in the surrounding ocean, all enter the Mist. uθ zunɪmo is exceptionally dangerous, with wild winds and seas, and the deeper you go the worse it gets. Above the water, it appears to be shaped as a ring, in actuality, it is shaped like a bowl, with the edges sticking up high above the ocean's surface. It looks the same above the water as below, as a thick fog of rapidly moving water. The bowl turns into a full sphere during an eruption.

The θɛʃɾəɾi worked out that flying up and out before the dome closes, it allows them to fly in relatively calm winds until the eruption ceases and the dome re-opens. Non-winged morph-types are carried.
