12.14.3 The Island of Shala-Khulia
The island of Shala-Khulia is in the oceans to the southwest of Sapience, accessible by a ferry off the Aalen forest coast and further south than the island of Polyargos. It is a warm, tropical island covered by a dense rainforest. Within the rainforest is Shala-Khulia city, the stronghold of a primitive civilization that has dwelt upon the island since time immemorial. A separate tribe called the Khish resides within caves in the rainforest. It is rumoured that a Necromancer laid a terrible curse upon the island long ago, a curse which somehow links the rainforest to the forest of Rheodad in far northern Sapience.
