Isle of Chains

Discovery
The Isle of Chains is the second most recently discovered land mass in the oceans of Rheya. It was first found by Temlin Bellemar, who at the time was a captain in the Royal Fleet of Westerhold, at the young age of 21. By order of Hendrick Iormatt, the King of Chains, Temlin's ship had been sent out to the west in pursuit of a band of pirates from Deepshore who had managed to steal a trading ship from the Westerhold port district. In a desperate attempt to lose their pursuers and to not bring them right to their doorstep, the pirates sailed north for several days, into the treacherous waters dotted with small islands and often covered with ice, which were widely known to the pirates of Deepshore as the Shattered Isles. The pursuit continued, but eventually, they'd gotten rid of Temlin's ship. Temlin's crew was lost among the isles, but they continued to make their way through safe passages in an attempt to return home. After several more days, they discovered an island much larger than the others, which was a sight to behold. Bright, green grass covered the island's surface and tall trees were growing everywhere. As the crew's supplies were becoming scarce and hunger began to set in, Temlin decided to dock the ship and make for the island.

As the crew first set foot on the island, they feasted on its fruits and even caught some of the exotic wildlife for food. They stayed on the island for several days, and eventually, instead of returning home, the crew declared that they wished to stay for a while longer. The island was a paradise, locked away from the King of Chains's tyrannical society, and Temlin couldn't agree more. They were to stay for several more days before they would return to their friends and families.
