The Emerald Isle

North east of the Northern Realm is the emerald isle. The emerald isle, although seen as mostly white because of the constant snow that coats the isle, is called so, because it is primarily dominated by large green trees. The emerald isle is a kingdom and has been so since the dawn of time. The king of the emerald isle is the great white bear King Valemon. Valemon along with most of the inhabitants of the Emerald isle are as you might have guessed, natural Lycans. Although they can all take the form of humans, they prefer their animal or hybrid forms.

The emerald isle is not well known to the rest of the world, having no need for trade nor migration most emerald isleers see no need to leave their homeland. The sight of a cold forest isle draped in snow might not seem like the ideal place to settle down for new settlers, and so it has been mostly avoided throughout time.

 Alas, stories of werewolfs terrorizing the countrisdes have been told and sung of in manny a tale throughout the eons, might these tales have been inspired by the creatures of the emerald isle?

 The inhabitants of the emerald isle, although lycans, are a peaceful kind (so far as any animal is peaceful). They live in balance with nature and each other. The problem, however usualy airse when someone not born as a lycan gets “infected”. These “afflictade” creatures tend to be more volatile and might be the ones  that are behind these “terrorizing” tales.

 The Emerald isle was not always covered in snow, however. It is said that it is the ruling king who decides what weather shal dominate the isle, and since King Valemon is a great white bear, he probably prefered snow.
