There is one way to easily discern the local inhabitants from foreigners on the southern island of Mo Ari. They have too much of a joyful and energetic way they pronounce Mo Ari.
Most people adjust after the first cold and freezing storm, the next adjustment is having fish and oats almost every day. If you still keep hope and promise in your heart after that, the first time you just catch a glimpse of Al-lulakra, will bring you back to the reality of your situation.
Al-lulakra and his followers
Most of the locals and wise travelers are worshippers of the ancient sea creature. For safe travels on these cold and unforgiven waters, tributes or sacrifices are brought monthly. Or a trading company that wants to ensure that the under water servants of Al-lulakra leaves their cargo in peace, they would send their offerings ahead of time, to the priest of Al-lulakra.
Tide Caller, Storm Bringer, God of the South Seas.
A few of this titles that can be spoken with the common tongue. He has found a strange attachment to Mo Ari. For such a small island, there is a large amount of goods and wreckage from sunken ships that ends up on her shores.
Those who serve Al-lulakra, believe it is his way of looking after his servants. An elven philosopher, Aeyleth the 3rd of the H’irth, believes it is how they are kept in a trapt. A false sense of trust in someone who is actually their captor.
More about Mo Ari
Those who have chose to made this place their home, are always fishing, hunting seals and other sea creatures. Some sell themselves as guides to those who want to travel more easily though these waters or travel even more south in search of ancient runes.
There is a handful of farmers, who use the little patches of usable soul to grow fresh fruit and vegetables. There is not a lot of livestock or poultry. The more affluent families have invested in them. In the last eleven years a druid has settled on this island and started to tend to an almost depleted forest and is bringing it slow back to life. To gain access to the trees for wood, villagers must help in planting and rejuvenating this grove.
There is a dock and small drydock. A retired shipwright and his protege. Also a carpenter who has become a savant at repurposing driftwood and wreckage to repair ships and also build furniture. There is a rather angry blacksmith, who curse rust every morning and then starts his day.
Making money through despair
The people chose to stay at this island, because of either ending up on her shores after their ships have sank, or when they try to escape the rules and restrictions of the mainland. There is even a local captain, who uses his sloop to save people and only let his brig on the waters if there is a worthy trade or the families of the rescued sailors, pays enough for them to be brought back home.
Magic on the island
We have spoken of the druid and his grove. There is a temple to Al-lulakra, with two priest who does services and sacrifices. A cleric who is the main healer and spiritual protector. They also have made a bond with some merfolk from the deep, to ally in serving Al-lulakra. There the people of the island made friends with a paladin, who acts as a herald to Storm Bringer.
