Scout the East shore and identify the civilization on the island    

Observations

Enemy forces have cannons setup on sandbars around the island   Island seems to be highly integrated with the weave   Spellcasting doesn't require any energy, but is potentially dangerous to the caster   Island full of prehistoric creatures, seemingly dinosaurs   Village on eastern shore consisting of progenitor lizardfolk (Did not make contact)   Ruins contain significant historical information and magical theory worth further study
