'''Appearance:''' Islanders tend to be wiry folk, very dark of skin with black wooly hair and brown or black eyes.

'''Government:''' What little government is to be found in the archipelago is closely woven to family and community.

'''Religion:''' Islanders honor Mok Ji, Jon Kon, and Kuolema.

:'''Mok Ji:''' Jovial and mocking and always of good humor, Mok Ji is said to manifest as a three legged, three armed, three eyed, three breasted Islander bearing Lantern, Shears, and Weighted Net and is purported to to offer a challenge to any soul they encounter.

:'''Jon Kon:''' Jon Kon is a known changeling said to appear to folk first as an animal before transforming into a tousle haired child with a shepherd's crook in one hand and a sling in the other.

:Stories say if spurred to action, Jon Kon likes to sling seeds that explode when they hit something.

:'''Kuolema:''' Lithe and young, Kuolema is depicted as a young girl clad in a dark cloak with long blonde hair flowing free behind her and deep, dark eyes. If one looks closely, it is said the twinkling stars can be seen in the depths of her cloak and her gaze.

:Kuolema bears a pair of bone daggers, stained a deep red along the blades.

'''Economy/Trade:''' Islanders mostly trade in exotic fish, exotic fruit, and plant based medicinals.

'''Language:''' All Islanders speak the Trade tongue and the Salt patois. Players who wish to be conversant in the languages of other peoples may take the knack Tongues under the skill Know - provided that skill is at least [[file:d6a.png|24px|d6]]
