Shanlehare (the Dream Isle of Elancil)

Steel Realms

Somewhere, west of the Seaborne Isles in the Thadrician Ocean is the prison-island of ElancilShanlehare – Where the goddess sends those who displease her who are without divine protection. It gets its name from the wreath of fog and clouds that surrounds it and above it, and the fleeting glimpses of land, strange blue-green waters, and alien sounds and animals that are seen at its edges – as though the viewer were in a dream.

Truly it is more like a nightmare for those on the island. A strange landscape. Corals, fish, and birds never seen before. A sky above, that when it can be seen or at night, is filled with alien stars and constellations. The island of Shanlehare is a prison for the enemies of the sea queen who she is punishing my baking them fight for her benefit. It may be an obscure incident, but each creature or band of creatures has thwarted her through her minions in some way and is paying for it now.

Recognizing the Environs: Characters with some navigation, survival or world lore will not recognize the single moon, stars and horizon on a DC 6 check or better. It is not the world they are used to – this is evident because nothing is where it is supposed to be or even exists at all. All attempts to assess direction will fail.
