Sunwater Island

Geography

Flat land, ripe soil good for farming. Tropical. 500 mi2 coastline.

Ecosystem

Has a forest in the middle of the island that is at least 2 miles thick in all directions. There was once a diverse set of flora and fauna here. The Ogres killed off all the fauna and ate them until they could get Humans. They killed most of the flora so they could have some agriculture fields to supplement what they ate and provide some food for the Human slaves that work the land.

Climate

Tropical

History

This was once a fertile land inhabited by WiyayAwi. No one knows what happened to those living on the island before the Ogres came. The two competing theories is that:
  1. Those on the island were wiped out of existance by an unseen hand because they didn't return to their homeland.
  2. They were still on the island when the Ogres showed up and they were eaten first (which would one explaination of why they want to eat more Humans).
The truth will never be known as Sunwater Island has been put on the worldwide banned travel list. Even with the Ogres gone due to the events of 21. Twilight's Heritage, no one is will to risk punishment for breaking the ban. And with the borders being closed at the end of The Cinder War: A World Shattered: Fourth World War Archaeologists have found their profession to be useless.

Tourism

This island hasn't seen tourists, especially since it was put on the worldwide travel banned list. Though this island would be an Archaeologist dream come true as it's one of the few places on Caelum Prime they haven't explored.  
I can't believe that men renowned in various fields of politics and humanities, amont other disciplines are wrtiting about Ogres being the reason no one could visit this island. If it was just one or two people, I'd dismiss it, but not with so many confirming it. Still, it's hard to believe. It's not like I can travel there to confirm this information with my own eyes... and that's making two assumptions: 1: We are talking about the fantastical, and 2: They still live on the island (if they live at all). Of course, based on what I've found, this island hasn't been visited by any (known) Human in over two millennia. Whose to say what would be found now?

I know all too well what it's like living on an island and the frustrations of not being able to see anything new. What would it be like to cut off so completely that eventually people forget about the place and its inhabitants? Is that the road we are on now?
