Isle of Outcasts

The Isle of Outcasts is situated on the northeast side of Turivia and is mainly inhabited by the Outcasts.

History
The Isle of Outcasts, or as it was previously known as, Landere, was the initial starting point for all civilizations - the Originators had created and placed the first sentient beings here.

When the existence of the mainland was discovered, only the rich and skilled folk could afford to move away from the cramped island, leaving most of the common folk without special skills or contacts on Landere.

As time went on and other civilizations sprung up on the continent, so did many criminal organizations to supply the darker needs and wants of the population. Since idealists hadn't thought up of the need of prisons at the time of the first landing and rich folk didn't want to supply the funds necessary to build them, an idea emerged - take the old and/or broken ships, fix them just enough so that they are able to survive one more voyage, and send them to Landere. Since this was the cheapest and 'most humane' way to get rid of undesirable convicts, the plan was soon put into action.

When the first exile ship arrived on Landere, its inhabitants, seeing the state of it and fearing for the sailors lives, rushed to welcome them, but arrived only to find criminals who were quite interested in the relatively unguarded island. This caused the rather short Fight of Reclamation, in which the convicts of the first ship, aided by the seedier classes that had remained on Landere, as well as other ships filled with more convicts that kept coming, killed or otherwise removed most of the remaining rich and influential folk and proclaimed Landere a safe haven for all criminals - the Isle of Outcasts.
