(local area) Darwaeton Isle
Rumors abound about exactly what happened here, many years ago. However, there are several things that recent expeditions have been able to pin down about this mysterious and allegedly cursed place:
The Isle is set in the south-western corner of Scandalbrand Lake.
Darwaeton Isle is about 11km North to South, by 6km East to West, for a total of nearly 35km-sq of hills, woods, marsh and cliffs.
The island's elevation slopes steadly both towards it's spine, as well as from North to South. Indeed, for most purposes, the only place to arrive on Darwaeton Isle is at it's northern most point, once known as "Vollkes Landing". The further south you go, the harder it becomes to find a reasonable landing point for anything deeper than a rowboat.
In the southeast corner of the island is the long ruined Darewaeton Familyhold. It is a simple "Post Imperial" design with a ringwall, two-story keep and a few outbuildings. It has been a ruins for well over a century; though for what reason it was initially abandoned is not commonly known.
To the very east-southeast of the island are the substantial cliffs referred to in early descriptions of the island as "Sorrow's Leap". While mostly inland, there is one point where they meet the lake during spring flood season.
