Crescent Isle

Crescent Isle
Off the south-western coast of Vandimion lies the treacherous reefs surrounding the Crescent Isle; a large free isle that has managed to stay out of the Empires rule for hundreds of years - mainly because few know the navigational secrets to make it to the island in one piece. Those who know these secrets are only the esteemed captains of the pirate guild “Silent Sea”; the guild that rules this land under its dictatorial pirate king leader.

The Crescent Isle is the home of those who consider themselves free of Empire rule, the home of those who wish to live a life away from the boundaries of property and class, away from enslavement and toiling in the field. These men and women sail the high seas, plundering the ships traversing the popular trade routes along the coast of the Empire, and are rarely caught by the Empire’s navy.

Surrounded by underwater reefs and banks, and its shores protected by tall cliffs it is nearly impossible to land at the isle unless you know the way through to the Red Sand Cove; the inside of the island. Those who have seen the red sanded beaches of the inner island speak of its magical beauty, and how the sand would glimmer strong in the moonlight - so strong it was impossible to explain without using magic as the source.

Should you make it as far as the red-sanded beaches you would undoubtedly come to see the vast harbours stretching along the city of Doubloon; perhaps the most legendary free city of all time, where the pirate king's throne was seated. Most buildings were created out of the old hulls of ships and the streets covered in flat rocks with the same magical properties as the islands sand - making the city glimmer in the night.
