Eripomvuno (concept)
Biozone: Eripomvuno
Eripomvuno is an island chain off the southern coast of Etepezea that has remained unsettled for millennia despite its boundless beauty. What explorers have managed to return from the island describe a land of unparalleled sights- a perfect garden of emerald green foliage and rainbows of flowers with near overpowering smells. What towering structures remain on the island have been completely swallowed by thick overgrowth.
Some scholars have noted that new reports of the island differ from those in past centuries, pointing to discrepancies between descriptions of the coastline and growths further inland, though none have been able to explore the island thoroughly enough to understand why.
After a rather anxious ride to the island, we finally reached the 'beach' of Eripomvuno, if it can be described as such. What sand still remains has been pushed to the water's edge by an ever encroaching forest denser than the darkest parts of the Kalathipsomi.
Looking between the tree trunks I can't help but feel a twinge of despair at trying to navigate this place. At the same time, something seems to pull my heart deeper into the overgrowth, as if the longer I stare at the leaves and flowers the more I want to see what else lurks amongst the foliage.
