MISTY
ISLAND
Misty Island, also known as the Misty Isle, lies on the Western Sea off
the coast of Antharia, a brief west trip from the islands of Festeron.
This jagged island, always enshrouded by fog, is the site of the
platypus kingdom of Anatinus,
whose castle lies nestled among the cliffs of that island. The platypus
frequently travel back and forth between the Misty Island and Festeron
by the means of magical silver whistles. It has been suggested that the
platypus outpost on Antharia's Misty Island is in fact no more than the
winter home for the platypi wishing to avoid the frigid climates of the
Mithican Mountains.
The
magnificent platypus castle's parapets rise high into the mist, usually
emanating with friendly voice and music from inside, where hundreds of
platypuses gather in the long, high-ceilinged throne room, milling
about with teacups in their paws; or the huge ballroom festooned with
rich tapestries, telling stories of playpi capturing unicorns or
slaying dragons in full armor. Each generation of platypi are ruled
from here by a king Anatinus, all descending from a forgotten original
Anatinus.
Those of Witchville were a nasty neighbor, bearing no
love for the Misty Island. Because of the fear of organizing platypus
hunts, the population of this island insisted on aiding the current
postman.
