Karabour

Karabour is a large Island in the Northeast of Southern Isles. It is considered one of the major islands.

Overview
Karabour is the most Northwestern island placed right above the Crags of Creykeit. It is known for its three great internal lakes. Only two are true lakes. The third is a bay with a narrow gap to the sea. Many settlements lie on the coast of this bay but most avoid the true lakes. They are said to be dangerous and haunted. The waters of the lakes are hot and give off steam. Man-eating fish swim these great lakes competing with alligators for game. Islands lie in the center but are shrouded in shadow even during the brightest days. Karabour is known for having one of the only shipyards in the Isles. It is crewed and defended all by residents of Karabour. The culture here is one of hardwork and reverence of the island itself. It is lush with fruit and wild pigs. The people here wear loose clothes of brown and green and blue. They wear stone jewelry and carry many weapons. But not all is good on land. Karabour is also known for giant serpents which slither through the canopy and the floor below. Nearly forty feet long these beasts are not actually monsters but natural on the island. They have razor sharp teeth and a constricting grip. Monsters too live here. Great eagles of Ghendar with talons and feathers as tough as steel. However they avoid the grounds.

Ancient Reliquary
The Southern lake of Karabour contained an ancient crypt made by a priest of Ghendar, on one of it’s islands. The lake itself was inhabited by an injured siren. The island of the Reliquary was covered in dark trees which gave off shadows. Nothing lived here not even insects. However the bones of several people and animals were deposited here having been picked clean by the Siren. The door to the crypt was made of rusted iron. The crypt contained a mural of Ghendar and two people enchanted with white wings. It also contained a scroll hidden in the mural, several bars of iron, several ancient weapons, and a map of Piyla with an x indicating the location of some treasure. The scroll and map were written in an ancient dialect of the Elder Tongue.

Events
In Sharus of AeP 446, Janie Kerias followed her True Compass to the reliquary. She was accompanied by Jack, J’Kar, Daxian, Sylvie, Genna, and Palo. The group was accosted by several eagles of Ghendar who mauled Genna forcing her to turn back. The rest of the group crossed the lake just barely turning the siren away. They found the reliquary and returned to their ship.
