Ulangi was found by '''Oswald''' in the year 264 AF. The [[Sentinels of Nature|Sentinel]] was flying in [[Tasur'ke]], above [[Caspian|Caspian's]] Tower, when a strong wind came and took him. He was blown all about in this massive storm, before being roughly dropped somewhere he had never been before.
Ulangi was found by '''Oswald Snowmantle''' in the year 264 AF. The [[Sentinels of Nature|Sentinel]] was flying in [[Tasur'ke]], above [[Caspian (Elder God)|Caspian|Caspian's]] [[Tower of the Blue Abyss|Tower]], when a strong wind came and took him. He was blown all about in this massive storm before being roughly dropped somewhere he had never been before.


He could not track back, or use his [[Groves|grove]] return. Upon surveying the area, he found himself to be on an island called Ulangi, which we now know is an island off the southeast coast of Sapience. He wandered the island, fearing for his safety, and in doing so he came across a Sentinel whom he had never heard of and spoke with him a while of rituals and quests.

Luckily, Oswald found a newsroom on the island and thus was able to safely compose posts to the whole of Achaea, making valuable contact with the world across the seas. In his public news posts, Oswald spoke of two villages: one of [[Grooks]], devout magic users, and a hive of [[Horkval]]s, the shock-troops of [[Aegis]] during the wars of mythology.

The Sentinels and Lord Caspian arranged a rescue of the marooned Oswald, and in this way did he return to Sapience with yet more tales of his adventures.

The isle of Ulangi lies to the southeast of the continent. From the fishing village of [[Shastaan]], a short, reasonably-priced ferry ride, manned by [[Gareth]], will get you there. From Ulangi one can also gain passage to the nearby island of [[Mysia]]. The western coast of Ulangi sports a sandy coastline from north to south, though the sand dunes grow especially thick at the northwestern corner of the isle.

The northern half of Ulangi is dominated by a boggy marsh. Within this northern marshland may be found the [[grook]] village of [[Ogalla]], and just outside the village's limits is the hut of the outcast known as [[Balai]] the Scorned.
