who would attempt to relegate Izumo to their island chain alone. The fallen warriors from these battles were given ceremonial burials on the Fallen Isle to grant them glory in the afterlife. Many years after the wars had ended, monk warriors would venture forth from the temples and travel to meditate among the honored dead. This practice and the interaction with the spirits of the island would eventually lead to the origins of the Soulbenders. Even today, the Fallen Isle remains a respected burial ground, where the inhabitants of Shin’Tar are regularly sent to maintain the site. Honorable burials are still possible, should a citizen of Izumo be deemed worthy to rest among the fallen ancestors. Legend speaks of ghosts and spirits populating the isle, but reports of such sightings are quickly shrugged off by the Maester’s of Izumo. In truth, foreigners are forbidden to step foot on the island, and thus outsiders can only speculate as to what actually exists on this “haunted” isle.
