Post subject: Isle of Eternal Leaves???

I've looked all over the Blessed Isle book and I can't find a write-up on the Isle of Eternal Leaves (southwestern portion of the Blessed Isle). Any help?

I found it on the last page of the main geographical chapter (4, I think?). The Isle seems to be the last "wild area" with boars, wolves and such and it's a new farming community. It serves my purpose perfectly as I need a small port that sailors and other (pirates!) can dock and send people on their way. ~ Talking Muffin

That is totally my fault. I overwrote that chapter by quite a chunk, forcing my developer to go through and cut out a bunch of material.

There was only a small bit other than what you've got in your hands; I'm posting it below. Do keep in mind, however, that this isn't canon. It never made it into the book, so this is just my interpretation at this point.

Isle of Eternal Leaves The Isle of Eternal Leaves boasts the two most recent prefectures on the Blessed Isle. Until thirty years ago, the island was simply the location of a naval outpost and watch-station, with just enough population to ensure the successful operation of Emerald Port and the handful of manses owned and maintained by the Empire and Great Houses. Thirty years ago, the Thousand Scales saw the need to better administrate that portion of land, and established a pair of prefectures there, with the intention of harvesting lumber there.

Now, the island is aswarm with strangers, entire families uprooted and moved to tent villages and taught the techniques of lumber-harvesting. Their initial harvests are used to build actual housing for themselves and a dock where boats might come to transport their "crops." As a result, life is somewhat chaotic, though there are a great many of the disenfranchised from all over the Blessed Isle who have come here hoping to make a new life.
