12.9.6 The Isle and Village of Harae

A small isle in the Western Ocean just southwest of the greater Island off
the Northern Vashnars, the mountainous Isle of Harae harbours a small
volcano, and at the base of it, a village of primitive tribesmen called the
Haraekanewa. In the mudpools surrounding the village roam mindless, savage
mud-men called the poharaehe. The Haraekanewa worship the volcano as a God,
and their yearly sacrifices conceal a dark and monstrous secret.
