The Island forgotten by the Sea
Size of Island: 78 square miles
Location: Calm Belt
Inhabitants: Ahuvya Occasus is the only Human inhabitant, but there are many different Creature from around the world that find there way there.
Town(s)/Village(s)/City or Cities:
The Lost Railtown: Someway, Somehow, unknown to even Ahuvya, the ruins of a small rail station and a out laying town sleep on the north side of the Island, how it got there, and when, is unknown, but something lurks in it's Depths that even the mighty Sea Kings refuse to swim the waters near it's shore.
Ahuvya Occasus's Workshop: Ahuvya's Father built the Blacksmith when he stumbled upon it in his youth, the rare metals and items that dotted it's landscape were a Heaven to the novice Blacksmith. He Spent the Next 20 years on the Island, homing his skill, till he left to Start a family. When Ahuvya Occasus left home, his Father gave him instructions on how to find the Island, and since then, he has run the Blacksmith. On this Island, Ahuvya can create Weapons and Items that far surpass those that he could forge on his Ship, but the Island is near impossible to find, and Ahuvya is rarely there, so such weapons are extremely rare. The Workshop itself is sits Several miles inland from the "Gates of Heaven", near the base of the Volcano, and is build out of "living Rock" (aka, carved into the rock itself). It is a Hebraic Style building, though much Large, about four stories, and 100 yards long, build with lodging and other such facilities to support Ahuvya and any Customer as he Works, and well as containing all the Equipment needed.
Flora and Fauna: TIFbtS is covered in Plant and Animal life from around the World though mostly the Denice forests and rolling plains of the South and East Blue, the Seas are populated by some of the more powerful in the waters Including pods of Sea King and Kraken. The Island itself is inaccessible (if you can even find it) by those that do not know it's secret, as the ocean Surrounding all but the North side of the island waterfalls down into a bottomless abyss. On the West side of the Island sits a Active Volcano that hold some of the richest metal veins in the world, and stands slightly under the hight of the Reverse mountain. In the East, a Vast open Plain sleeps, many rare and forgotten Medical Plants can be found here, and even though most are found Natural thousands of Miles apart, here they exist side-by-side in peace. The south side contains a mild Desert and Savanna, but is inaccessible except by a lava tunnel near the Volcano, do to the large mountain range that said Volcano belongs to. The North side Is appears to have once been a sprawling Railtown, but Uraih suspected that it is of the same nature as the mixed Flora and Fauna of the rest of the Island, as the Rails lead into strange Obstacles, such as Trees, and Hills, before finally plunging into the Abyss.
Island History: How this Island came to be as it is now, and what is was before is unknown, So we'll Start off from when Ahuvya Occasus's Father first found the Island. Uriah Occasus found the island at the age of 25, when his ship got stranded in the Calm belt. At First he had thought that he had gone Crazy when he found that his ship had begun to move again, then joy flooded his heart as he realized he really was moving again. But the joy soon turned to Terror when he realized the Reason why. His Ship was being pulled toward a distant island by some strange force, a Island surrounded by a bottomless abyss. As the waters fell over the side of the abyss, they were forced upward is massive, destructive jet, shooting Hundreds of feet into the air. Thinking that his end was near, Uriah prayed to God to save his life, and at the last moment, instead of falling into the Abyss, his ship floated gently over it. By a stroke of luck, or by the Hand of God, Uriah's ship had wandered into a river that spanned the length of the Abyss, near the large volcano on the west side of the Island, one who's waters were so clear, it was near Invisible. When Uriah made landfall in the Volcanic bay, he build a small shrine to thank God, and named the bay "Heaven's Gate". Uriah spent the Next 20 years on the island, using the seemingly inexhaustable resources to perfect his Blacksmithing Skills, and the Blades forged on that Island are even now said to be some of the finest in the World, and many of these blades are even now owned by nakama of the infamous Whitebeard crew and other Famous Pirates, as well as some of the top ranking Marines of the World Government. After 20 years of hardship and Study, Uriah was finally able to create a small engine for his Ship, allowing him to leave, but before doing so, he made a map to the Island. When Ahuvya Occasus came of age, Uriah passed on the map to his son, charging him to find the island. Ahuvya Occasus now runs a Blacksmith shop on the island, were he forges Blades like his father once did.
