The islands of Kunapi are shrouded in unpleasantness and mystery, far beyond the Drauger tier of Yggdrasil. Inhabited by primitive tribes each with distinctly uncooperative cultures, worship of the snake and the bird is rife throughout this clandestine world. It is said that the tribes once coexisted peacefully, yet the arrival of a powerful Serpentlord set into motion a conflict that would span countless years beyond the ken of mortal minds as the near-destruction of the Kunapi tribe brought about the rise of the Snake God and the vicious, unrelenting zealotry of his servants.
Geography
The geography of Kunapi Island is tropical and fractured. Three main areas connect to a central oceanic waterway, the isolated bay bleeding into forest, jungle, and ruins.
History
Inhabitants
The two islands of Kunapi and Jukuba and their inhabitants are largely divided into two warring tribes, that of the Jukan, and that of the Bukuban. The peaceful Kunapi were murdered years ago by the other two tribes.
Jukan:
Bukuban:
Kunapi:
Snake Lord
Culture
The Kunapi were a culture which worshipped birds. The avian motif is evident in the ruins which make up the sundered village which was their home.
Kunapi legend speaks of a snake god named Khepera who arrived and showed the tribespeople wonders from other worlds. The Jukan and Bukuban destroyed the more civilised Kunapi tribe at his behest and have been warring against one another for his favour ever since.
Flora and Fauna
A veritable menagerie of critters and ferns litter the verdant landscape of the islands. Feral dogs and cats roam the ruins of the once-great Kunapi tribe, their snarls and yowls mixing horribly with the sad warbles of grossly deformed nightingales. The deep waters in the centre of the jungle are infested with aggressive redfin tuna, green-spotted stingray, giant sea serpents, and peaceful manatee. Many species of reptiles roam the land, from the yellow-tailed boa of the Jukan tribe, to the sunbathing salamanders on the idyllic beaches, to the green-tailed boa of the Bukuban tribe. The lush archipelago also enjoys a tropical climate bathed in the warmth of its three suns—Telar, Hara, and Tharan. The plant life is vibrant and beauteous, though most notable are the hippeastrum, ginger, and coiniena plants.
