Isle of Mielette
The Isle of Mielette is an ancient mist shrouded island in the east edge of Lake Caolite, about a mile from the coast. The isle has long been left alone, there is nothing on it that cannot be gotten from other places.
It was once the home of powerful daughter of Gaia, a water nymph. Before The Sundering in CY 5000, she was paid tribute and accorded a high honorific. After the catastrophe of The Sundering, there was a while were fresh water was difficult to come by, and the healing spring on the island was prized and rumors abounded it would heal any injury. Many a band of freebooters, pirates, and adventurers in service to some Lord or lady came to secure it. She used the water, mist, and rocks against all comers, fending them off for a dozen years. She was eventually killed, cursing the island in the process and her killers were hunted by the followers of Gaia. The mist refused to leave the island, and those who sought it were never seen again. Followers of the Wyld Faith warn all who seek it of certain doom, and do not go there themselves.
Its been thousands of years, and still no one goes, though the fervor and terror have since subsided. No one goes there now for it is small, thought to be nothing more than a normal spring, and the fog makes it treacherous anyway. It’s not worth the trouble, as there are a the Parun Islands (two about the same size) to the Northwest of it that have small populations and bays safe from storms and small streams for water for travelers.
