History of the Isle of the Four Winds

The guide says, "As far as the history of Four Winds Isle, well, that's always been a mystery. Some people say it was created by Jaston himself. Others say it was just used by Jaston as a sanctuary. Still others say it has nothing to do with Jaston at all! Like I said, it's a real mystery.

The history of the Isle of Four Winds begins with the history of Frostacres, a small commune of farmers and traders that grew up around the cottage of the kindly sylph Wixie. Wixie lived next to a lake that fed a waterfall, deep in a forest. She was famous for her hospitality and her freshly baked apple pie.

The merchant Boggles was doing alterations one night, and stopped short of an old woman who had waited patiently for her turn. A powerful witch, she cast a powerful spell on Boggles and began to take over the minds of the townsfolk.

The people of Frostacres began to succumb to hunger and disease. The founder of Frostacres, Wixie, was immune to the witch's spell, and she rallied some visiting adventurers to battle the witch and her evil magics. During the battle with the witch, Wixie cast a spell that lifted the outpost above the land and protected it from evil powers.

When Frostacres became too small, it exploded and Mist Harbor took its place. Frostacres is still honored through the Mist Harbor banknotes, the name Frostacres is still taken by the justice system, and the LOCATION (verb) names Frostacres when used on the Isle of the Four Winds.
