Isle of Black Stars

The Isle of Black Stars as it is commonly known is a volcanic island in the Isaurus Ocean near the city of Bornheim in the Western Realms. Atop this island, rising over 900m (3,000 ft), is an active volcano. The island derives its name from the crystal flecked black basalt that covers the volcano. At night the volcano stands dark against the sky, with the moon reflecting thousands of small points of light.

Dense woods form a ring around the central part of the island, except on the southface where lava from the volcano naturally flows into the sea. Wildlife mostly consists of birds, small mammals, insects. On the western shore of the island is a small religious community. They have no dock and the jagged rocks and reefs around the island discourage anyone from setting ashore. Instead supplies are brought in by longboat.

This island has one of the six towers that comprise the outer points of the spell that keeps the demons locked inside of Tminir Tower. Unlike Tminir, the True Elf that guards this tower still maintains his vigil. He tolerates the humans that have settled on the island for they worship his tower and protect it from treasure-seeking raiders.
