 Verity Isle[1] | |
Verity Isle lies in the east of Britannia, to the south of Dagger Isle and is one of the most densely populated islands of Britannia.
Description[edit]
Verity Isle is home to Moonglow, the city of Honesty, as well as to the prestigious Lycaeum. Considering these influences, it is little wonder the island bears numerous landmarks named for the moons and for concepts relating to Truth and Honesty. A moongate is accessible at its southeastern shores.
History[edit]
Verity Isle changed little over the ages, apart from Moonglow slowly covering its entire southern half, and was one of the few landmasses largely spared by the eventual Great Cataclysm - although the slow march of Moonglow's expansion would eventually push back the forests which once covered much of its surface, making room for a more urban environment.
Lore[edit]
