Maxilla Isle

Making up the western “jaw” bracketing the Strait of Praeis, Maxilla Isle is flatter than its sister Mandible Isle and rises from the ocean to a maximum height of barely 100 feet. Volcanic glass and jagged sharp stone make up a shoreline that, while vastly different from nearby Mandible, is equally forbidding and dangerous. Plants of the island are twisted and discolored, and some odd ones are like nothing else found anywhere in the Lost Lands, though the animals living here seem normal and unaffected. Its foreign appearance and dangerous shores mean it is an unlikely stop for any reason other than a shipwreck. Those who have been unfortunate enough to spend a night (or more) on the island are said to have felt strange, unearthly vibrations. Some of these poor folk went irrevocably insane, gibbering about “emanations from beyond the stars” or “the eyes of yellow.” A few are said to have been cured of this insanity, but only after months away from the insidious influence of this island. Whatever the source of the madness, it doesn’t seem to affect the sea birds and mammals that perch or sun on its rocks.
