Burrow Isle

A small island off the coast of Corran, Burrow Isle is a semi-tropical haven for strange wildlife. Its name stems from the curiuous tree formation of the island's rainforest: the trees curve subtly inwards, creating the appearance of a shaded nest or burrow when regarded from the shore.

The sandy beaches of the isle are inhabited by territorial Chuul, which aggressed the party when accidentally disturbed. However, the presence of these Chuul repels the sea-spawn, meaning the island's inhabitants have been naturally sheltered from the assaults that plague the mainland.

Within the depths of the rainforest resides an ancient settlement of tortles, who allege to have lived on the island since it broke away from the shore during a battle between gods. Their village surrounds a temple, and they serve as guardians on behalf of the enigmatic beings that inhabit it. Those who enter the temple rarely return, but those who do are apparently changed: glory, riches, even beauty are rewarded to the victors of what the locals call only 'the Trial'. Rumour of these boons draw many would-be adventurers to the island, but all too often all that remains of them are the belongings they leave behind.
