A Place of Mystery and Knowledge
The Isle of Stars (and the several other small islands around it) makes up what can best be described as a very exclusive school and collection of knowledge. The currently elected (and 121st) "Master" of the
Isles of Stars is
Kasthinmora Fathsoulen.
This started out as a school for the children of the powerful, the present-day cities grew around the islands into their present forms, while the Isles of the Stars have changed very little. About a millennium (1,276 years ago to be exact) ago, the school changed the way they operated, from taking in anyone willing to pay the fees to tracking down only those worthy of the arts (this school is akin to the Shaolin Temples of northern China in that they stress a combination of well-developed minds, bodies, and spirits). Martial arts are exceedingly rare in this world; however, they are taught at the Isle of Stars (and by a few who have turned away from the ways of the Stars after having trained there, and by a few small groups that still pass down some of the traditional fighting techniques usually altered in some form). Those who complete the training will either spend their lives training the new students brought in every year (only 33 are brought in per year), or will scour the world gathering knowledge and history as well as seeking out those few individual children who are capable of going through the training. Thus the Island of the Stars has got the most complete and broad knowledge base on the planet, written in an unbiased format, dating back nearly 2500 years.
Due to the nature of this location, no further information will be "publicly" available at this time... But if you do want to learn more, by all means contact me if you wish to gain access as a GM (or DM for those who prefer the d20 systems with their much lower level of detail and imersiveness) to run games within the setting, or if you are interested in taking on the role of one of the several hundred characters who have played a part in this world.
