The Flying Island Muertala

Page created by Flodoomable

=Geography:=

The island of Muertala is situated in the center of the main continent on an altitude above the clouds, this is where the island is locked in position for an unexplainable reason. Even with it being in the middle of the world only so many see the island itself as it can just barely be seen from the ground.

The Island has inhabitants of around 200+ flying, undead or both monsters and many less humans. It is said that the island is tethered to the earth in this place due to a large ominous gate standing erect in the middle of it as it flies in the sky. The gate is made from the hardest bedrock and cannot be destroyed.

=History:=

The Island was where it is now for many years, long before the current Demon Lord. The gate present on the island was told to allow the spirit of the dead to enter the spirit realm from our world. Though a portal that connects this world to that of the dead, no monster, undead or human can go through without their soul being forcibly drawn out into the spirit world to join the others while they wait on reincarnation.

There are only a few monsters that can fly high enough to reach the island, thus the inhabitants are low on food most of the time and have come to mate to replenish energy instead of eating the low stock of food they have.

The place is popular for necromancers thinking they can draw souls out from the gate for their experiments, not caring that such a thing won't work. Another group that favors the Island are Royalty of many countries, elder men, woman and monsters that all wish to go to the realm of the dead peacefully instead of waiting till they are too old and weak to even move.

=Culture:=

The culture on the island is as rich as it is hard to find. Most who go there to enter the gate take a week to write their life-story as a memory. How some noble men ruled their country with pride, how some lost it to anarchy due to foolish mistakes. Some people write about all the things they never did, or the family they hope to meet again in the realm beyond.

As with the common knowledge that monster widows will follow their husbands into death, the island sees an influx of relief. One would call this place a depressing place to end up at, but the inhabitants see it differently. They meet new people every week and wave them off as they begin their lives anew. The gate is seen as a new beginning for all who want to keep their lives in their own hands.
