The race is actually the descendants of children formed from merpeople and humans, before those relationships were banned under the ruling of degeneracy. Honoring their ancestors, they sale the seas on their island, believing themselves to be the rightful rulers of land and sea.

I fell in love with those giant turtle-islands in D&D as a kid.

an accumulation of organic 'stuff' that came to the centre of an ocean gyre and kinda matted them with birds using it as a perch it got covered in guano then plants from the seeds the vines and roots holding it together. Now it just circles the innermost part of the gyre and sometime folk end up there leading to differernt village of folk from one race/religion/culture and mixed villages where they trade/party/scheme/murder each other. wooden weapons for th most part little armour except turtle shell/boiled leather/padded/wood(?). the plac e would have to ne large enough to sustain a few thousnd folk with fresh water coming from pools of rainwater & using glass/sunlight to boil water then collecting salt & the steam turning back to water. food would be mainly fish but also fungi farms/insect senpaitachi (crickets good, silk worms doble good). language would be archai/debased versions of home languages plus 1 or more pidgins/creoles. intervillage contest and councils would be handy for plot maybe a police force so you can have pc's be investigators.

I liked the fish island from synbad more, because it was my first exposure.

What would the giant turtle eat? Would the inhabitants feed her the fruits that gow on her back? And she does as little movements as possible to conserve calories?

Loving the wooden island that grows itslef and the shark tooth weapons.

Forgot how beautiful teeth katanas can be.

A wooden living island would produce gases from the microfauna on the roots that would help the floating.

Also they would probably tame dolphins as we tamed dogs.

The island doesn't sink because it's made almost entirely of pumice-stone, and is therefore lighter than water.

Organic matter has gathered on it the same way it does on all new islands; wind-blown plant seeds followed by flying insects and birds.

>What is the name of the island.
Nani, or Masaka

Every curved sword ever is a katana now, you heard it here first folks!

Even straight ones are katanas, taking into account that katana in Japanese means blade.

Wide Terrabroken Flower.

R'lieh or Gea are better. anyway.

>>54823788
For something that drifts Nani and Masaka are more fitting names

>>54823810
>Nani and Masaka
doesn't they just mean What and what the hell? Or am I missing some references?

>>54823788
That is not a katana.

At least european cavarly sabers from the 19th century took tips from katana blades and still weren't called katanas.

they would intercept migrants from syria and eat them. The island is build on bones.

Initial-D reference, everytime someone drifted with a can in that anime the contendants yelled "Nani?!!" and "Masaka!!"
