Sleeping Drake Harbor
Current History
For centuries, extreme mana storms kept the Isle of Ornath isolated from the surrounding continents, its shores known only to the shipwrecked, pirates subdued by the Xetaki, and scholars drawn by the promise of the Library of Biblia. With no safe passage for trade or travel, the island relied entirely on Chronomages; even for the goats and sheep that became the backbone of their livelihood.
That isolation began to wane in 5124, when, for the first time in generations, spring, summer, and autumn passed without the relentless threat of mercurial and often deadly storms. As the island weathered its first winter free from their grasp, a newfound jubilation took root, and with the arrival of spring, the people of Ornath stepped forward to share their world with the outside realm.
In early Olaesta of 5125, Sleeping Drake Harbor was officially opened to visitors, marking a new era for the island and its people.
People
The Isle of Ornath's population is largely composed of those drawn -- or stranded -- by fate: shipwreck survivors, pirates who found peace under the Xetaki, and scholars seeking the storied halls of the Library of Biblia. Over time, these disparate groups have formed a diverse, if unconventional, community.
The island's inhabitants primarily include:
- Humans
- Elves
- Half-elves
- Half-krolvin
- Burghal Gnomes
- Dark Elves (though they remain rare)
While a small number of dark elves reside on Ornath, they are few and far between. Most arrived in pursuit of greater knowledge, choosing to stay for reasons as varied as island life itself.
A small, native population of Burghal Gnomes also calls Ornath home, their presence dating back generations to a shipwreck that left their ancestors stranded. Though their numbers remain modest, occasional marriages to mainland gnomes have helped sustain their community.
