Taurenia: Cloudy Island Cloudy Island Island, Population unknown

"So much fog engulfs this island that you could hardly recognize where land was until it crept up right in front of you. A solitary mountain rises up above the clouds at the northern edge. It seems to bid you welcome, yet you feel uneasy. A great sense of awe mixed with a lurking dread fills you as you walk upon the dense jungle of this land. You can feel that the divines must have a great influence upon the island, as if the soil itself were somehow blessed... or cursed."

The Cloudy Island is named for the foggy weather it sees all year-round. The Stolid Jungle practically engulfs the island and it is split in two by the Floating Canyon, also named for its cloudy weather which gives it the illusion of being in the sky. A river runs through the canyon that starts within the volcanic Cloudy Mountain. The entire western coast of Cloudy Island is made up of the Mistlock Cliffs, which make it nearly impossible to dock any ships on the western half of the island.

Cloudy Island Monastery


Shargas

The Cloudy Island Monastery was created here in SH 134, housing one of the High Templars of the Holy Triumvirate of Bahamut. However, it's future beyond SH 1310 is unknown.

Threnos

When halflings from the peninsula to the east colonized the eastern coast of the Cloudy Island in TH 1022, the Monastery was discovered, but it was in ruins and had almost completely been swallowed by the surrounding jungle.

Since their colonization, the halflings have led relatively peaceful lives as traders and barters for ships coming to and from Konvel Tradeport, and are considered to be controlled by the government of Taurenia, which was founded over 150 years after the halfling colonization.

Cloudy Mountain
This lone mountain marks the highest point of the island. It is also an active volcano. Adventurers delved deep into the mountain on SH 1310 in the Orbs of the Archeron adventure arc.

Floating Canyon
The floating canyon is named for the clouds that constantly linger within it. Anyone who stands at the end of the canyon and looks down feels as though the canyon is bottomless.

(The following information should remain hidden to any characters who do not know the full terrain of the Floating Canyon.) (Hidden Information on the Floating Canyon) However, the canyon reaches only 50 feet deep at the most. The canyon floor is relatively barren, filled with volcanic rock and ashen remnants of the Cloudy Mountain's previous activity. The fog is particularly dense at the bottom, perhaps due to the river that runs through here.

Hidden River
Starting at the Cloudy Mountain and draining into the Ironel Sea, this small river slowly sneaks its way through the Floating Canyon.

Mistlock Cliffs
These cliffs stand over a hundred feet tall on the western coast of the island and stretch for over 50 miles, taking up literally half of the island. This geographical location makes the Cloudy Island Monastery very defensible.

Sojourner's Dock
Shargas

This minute fishing village was built specifically for docking ships that carried pilgrims.

Threnos

Since the halfling colonization, the village has grown into a small trading town of the same name.

Sojourner's Pass
Shargas

This small road is lined with prayer stones as it is traveled by many pilgrims trying to reach the monastery. The road itself is over 15 miles long and includes a very long rope bridge that stretches nearly a mile. Anyone passing over this bridge needs to muster up their courage since it has been worn down by tens of thousands of pilgrims over hundreds of years.

Stolid Jungle
This jungle engulfs the vast majority of the island. With the dense fog that covers this area, the jungle is extremely hard to travel through directly with no set pathway. Many creatures inhabit this jungle, both gentle and ferocious.
