Man'gaihi Island
The land of where they got those slugs at the southern market, aye ?
There's some reason they fetch a high prices. Getting these things isn't as dangerous as fishing primordial crabs, per se. But reaching them is the hard part, mah good man. I have met many captains in this port looking to seek them, but i can count on my fingers the amount of those that returned.
'pparently they found em on southwest, where ye olde rocks fell down. Can't trust those thing, i say. Heard the' was some crown around them island they found em, covered in shipwrecking stalagmites. An' winds that could lift a bloatmage ! Bu' dose that came back told me of some very rich lagoon passed those haza'ds. Some tropical wonder where wildlife was out of this world aye. and colors that even the tailors of Veb-Kula could not replicate as vivid as they seen. Takes some quite surprising things to make a sailor's sight dulled, lemme tell ya.

Geography
By the vista, Man'gaihi island most noticeable key features is "The ReefCrown". In order to protect the pelagos and other life forms, Ko-Konats the Crab High Witch changed the rock formations around the island so it would make ship landing too dangerous to try. Now, huge spikes of stony formations surround the island like an ominous crown. In the middle of it lays the formation of a dormant volcano. His formation was provoqued by the impact of a comet in the ocean. One particular interesting effect of the exposure of lava to the arcanic comet is the formation of a rich and colorful lagoon in between the crown and the island. The formation also made the soil rich in arcanic residues, creating unique and supernatural fauna over time. The island has one small lake midway the volcano's top, which goes down two rivers.
Natural Resources
Because of the arcanic residues on the lands, some ressources can be a bit too chaotic in quality to consider a constant and linear exploitation.
For example, the trees sap can prove quite an interesting alchemial component, but his structure is fickle and often make trees wither over time.
However, despite the unreliable behaviour of flora, many ressources can be found on the island. The volcano hides many gems, but also create arcanic rocks, which pelagos love. But aside from the rocks, the pelagos exploits few ressources, prefering to scavenge unused ones, like the silk of primal butterflies cocoon left after hatching. Or coconuts, which they love. They also at times scavenge the slime of slugs to make oils to protect them from elements.
