Singing Island

From House of Khilat

Location: In the outer mountains surrounding Evereska, just west of the Vale.

Land: A small island of about 1.5 square miles, near the north shore of a mountain lake of approximately 6 square miles.

Buildings: Chiliad's Crag Castle, NorthTower, West Tower, East Tower, Island Tower

East Tower

The East Tower guards the pass down the mountain which is a source of occasional raids from evil humanoids. The tower includes a signal system at the top that is visible from North Tower and Melodious Meadow.

Rangers and expert archers monitor the pass from the tower on a rotational basis.

West Tower

North Tower

The north tower is built on the Rocky Mountain side overlooking the lake shore across from the island. The top has a clear view of the lake shore and island shore, as well as the Island Tower on the opposite side.

Aliatris Wyvernjack routinely stays at the tower and tests potential visitors for signs of evil. The tower is typically manned by a ranger and an expert archer on a rotating basis.

Island Tower

The Island Tower is build on a rocky hill overlooking the north shore of the island with a view of the north lake shore and North Tower.

The tower is typically manned by a ranger and expert archer on a rotational basis.

A path from the shore leads to the Melodious Meadow.

Melodious Meadow

The south west side of the island opens into a grassy meadow. The soil is shallow over a foundation of hard bed rock, so few trees can take hold. The meadow slopes down to the sandy shoreline and cold mountain lake water.

Musical concerts are held in the meadow on a daily basis and can be heard across the lake.

The Sacred Grove of Song

The east side of the island is raised rocky terrain with ancient forest growth, including a tall Weir tree. The Weir tree has the spirit of a hamadryad living within it. Several old oaks and many mountain pine trees cover this portion of the island with thick growth.

Chiliad as a Druid of the Circle of the Ancients, with the help of Keilian Lunette and Elorin Tarmikos, hallowed the grove as Sacred to all Druids.

Chiliad's Crag Castle

The east side of the island has a tall rocky hill of huge granite boulders covered in mountain pines and oaks. Using elven techniques of moulding the landscape to create living spaces, with the help of Dwarven and Gnome engineers, Chiliad had the heart of the crag opened to create a small fort of natural caverns.

Chiliad had an elven spire build from the top of the crag overlooking the pristine lake and the island.
