Atrain
Atrain is a tropical island just north of the equator of Valine to the northeast of the main landmass of the continent of Cleoss. Geographically, it is considered a part of Cleoss. It is the largest non-continental island on Valine. The population is centered largely on the north coast, with the rest of the island sparsely populated and covered in thick jungle over three quarters of the landmass. Although physically part of Cleoss, much of the largely human population was of Iosseoan stock until very recenty, having been settled by the northerners some six centuries ago. However, the human population has largely abandoned their settlements over the last decade, leaving the island with a very small civilized population now largely consisting of githzerai and tieflings.
History
The single most important event of Atranian history is the Battle of Apocalypse Falls, which brought about the end of the threat of Coven's Rage. Atrain, as a largely untamed, vast jungle has only seen settlement in the coastal regions until recently. Nine settlements, largely of Iosseoan humans along the northern coast endured for centuries without ever really thriving, but one by one the settlements faded, leaving the island a haven for githzerai Monk. Atrain has built the largest collection of githzerai monasteries on Valine since the first was founded in 850.
