Isle of Winds, or Isle of Four Winds

From the Personal Files of Raila Deliean, Scholar

Isle of Winds, more commonly known as Isle of Four Winds, is often thought of as a mystery. Its location, geography, and temperament are largely mysterious. While it is thought that the powerful organization known as the Chronomages know more about the island than it lets on, it does not let slip how much knowledge it does indeed have.
I have always been avidly interested in the island and its history. I have read document upon document of information that tries to explain its origin, location, history, and modern state, but much of this information has holes so large that I can walk through them into the next room. As such, you can imagine my surprise when I came across some discarded papers that present a great depth of information on the Isle of Winds. (But then, as these are my personal notes, I should be honest here; maybe they weren’t just discarded papers. Perhaps it is true that I had to spend a little bit more coin than it takes to buy a city. But who’s really paying attention to that other than me, a presently nondescript person?)
While I was not able to attain all of the documents, such as the true value of the minerals and gemstones on the Isle, or its current geological build and status, I was able to obtain a few of the papers that contain material that is generally considered myth, and in some cases is completely unknown to the public.
When I received the report, the seller passed along some information as to the documents’ origin. According to her, the report was written at the behest of an anonymous and private citizen, whose name is never mentioned in the documents. It is clear, however, that the report was written specifically to ascertain the value of the island and how much it was and is worth. I should also note that I learned that the authentic, formal report, the one that I will likely never see, is continually updated per the original contract. This makes me wonder whether or not someone intends to extend an offer on the island, or whether this research is done for some other purpose – whether good or malevolent, I cannot know.
I feel it is my duty to protect the knowledge I have gained, and so I will continue to compile and record private papers regarding the Isle of Winds until I have a complete collection. My inventory of this report thus far includes:
