Quote:

An isle where travel is strictly forbidden due to the various hazards rampant on the land, once used as a high security prison for the worst of Esshar's criminals. Some of which were mutated into mindless beasts by the smog of occult that breathes out from the center of the island.

The telltale signs of a potential Indras Shard being found here has the Atrellyans send a small scouting party, and what they would discover is that no enemy tore the group of lesser demons apart, but that the group turned on themselves. The black fog that covers the island seems to bring out a person's most violent tendencies, may cause hallucinations and fits of paranoia, and can gradually undo them if they're subjected to it for too long.

The rumors of the Atrellyan goals on Ester soon reaches the four corners Esshar. There are many who might seek to stop them, or independent groups out to swoop up the treasure for themselves.
