Difference between revisions of "Shala-Khulia"

'''Shala-Khulia''' is a jungle [[:Category:Islands|island]] that was discovered by '''Garth Jaydde-Stormcrow'''. Home to a primitive civilization that has inhabited the area since before the time of formal recordkeeping, a strange curse has linked the jungle to the forest of the peninsula [[Rheodad]] on the [[Ishana Peninsula]] atop northern [[Sapience]].

 

Under the watchful rule of King [[Martin]] the Wise, Shala-Khulia was settled c. 1000 BF as a strategic outpost to serve [[Ashtan]] in the ongoing [[Ashtan-Shallam Wars]]. The northern isle was stripped of jungle growth and a city was built in its place, at the foot of the Khulia Mountains. Repeated skirmishes between the island's native groups and Ashtani soldiers forced a retreat, however, and the Khulians eventually moved into the structures that Ashtan had left behind.

Shala-Khulia is located in the southwestern ocean south of [[Polyargos]], off the coast of the [[Aalen Forest]]. It is accessible by a ferry located near the Aalen Forest manned by [[Nolan]], and by a ferry located on the island of Polyargos manned by [[Nate]]. The island contains three distinct areas: The Shala-Khulia city, inhabited by native tribesmen; the Shala-Khulian jungle; and a series of caves within the jungle inhabited by a strange cave people known as the Khish. To return to the Aalen Forest, one must take the ferry from Shala-Khulia, manned by [[Natalie]].
