Little Idd

A slightly oblong island about 30 miles in the long direction, Little Idd lies 50 miles northeast of Savelina Island in the southern part of the Reaping Sea. The island is commonly supposed to be uninhabited, but people tell each other all kinds of stories about what is really on Little Idd. Parents tell their children that if they are not quiet at night, monsters from Little Idd will swim over and eat them. Old hands at sea try to frighten new sailors with tales of a murderer whose transport ship was lost in a storm. They say the killer washed ashore on Little Idd and lives there still, surviving on fish and seaweed, hiding in the caves, and killing anyone else who sets foot on the island.   It is true that there are caves under the rocky hills that cover Little Idd, and that someone could hide in them. Some stories claim that the island is a hideout for pirates. Others whisper that an army is hiding on Little Idd, on the far side where they can’t be seen by ships at Savelina, and when they are ready, they will invade Tulyamin. This is one story that Prince Diodorus takes semi-seriously; the navy has standing orders to sail completely around Little Idd on a regular basis and to disembark for a closer investigation if they see anything out of order.   Really, though, Little Idd is uninhabited and everyone knows it, even though there is no way to actually prove i
