East Talon
East Talon, located just off the northern coast of the Talanos Peninsula and 60 miles east of West Talon, is a mountainous wilderness island dominated by high peaks and thick forests. The island has no natural harbor suitable for building a port as its few rocky beaches are small and dominated by hundred-foot cliffs of sharp volcanic rock. From the sea, a single white spire several hundred feet tall can be seen rising from one of the cliff faces. None know for certain its purpose or who built it. It is surmised that the spire may be an ancient relic of a bygone age or perhaps the home of an archmage who does not wish to be bothered.
The island’s interior is home to a number of dangerous beasts, mostly Pleistocene megafauna and primitive humanoids that are not averse to cannibalism, at least according to the few pirates and adventurers who managed to pierce the interior and return. The island’s coastline is littered with shipwrecks, and it is common practice of the Borss Navy to check the shoreline for survivors after tropical storms blow through the region.
