Blackrock Island

• • •


Brief Island Description:

Blackrock island is a peculiar construct. Under it is a large amount of high pressure steam vents, superheating the nearby water. In addition, several minor streams of water intersect at the Blackrock Island.
Blackrock island isn't actually an island, but a concentrated plate of refuse spewed out by the underwater volcano under it. The island is about 15 meters thick at the thickest and rather flat. It is entirely black, being made of solidified lava and ash. The island is rather hot and the water temperature in the area is prohibitively hot and only a few select creatures that can withstand the head swim in the waters under it. The plate of ash and volcanic matter is held on the surface by the hot water continuously flowing upwards. Thus the 'island' cannot sink.
Few plants or animals grace the ashen plain that is blackrock island. In the island itself are trees (Similar to the Sabaody archipelago trees, but smaller) poking themselves through from the holes in the plate. Then there are rats and other tough small animals brought in by visiting ships. However, around the island, there are lots of seafaring plants and fish, just not in the immediate vicinity. The area around the island is rich in sustenance for seafaring plant and fish and is named The Green Ring. Thus the island looks somewhat like a black disc surrounded about 2 kilometers away by a circle of plants.
There are few inhabitants in the island itself, but there is a community in the center of the disc, Volcano Village. They mostly scavenge wood and such brought by the streams and hack stone off the disc for their houses and eat fish and plants fished away from the circle of plants. This village is build around the exact center of the island, where the Ash Mountain resides. It is actually not much of a mountain, but holds a hill of volcanic refuse. This spot is directly above the underwater volcano.
The smiths of the island have a secret however. They have discovered the secret of the trees in the island itself. How they brave the near boiling water temperature and have learned to augment it. They can treat any wooden item to make it very hard to burn. They only start being affected by heat at temperatures over 3000 celcius. A weapon with this trait is a strong weapon.
The island has about a hundred inhabitants, and they rarely have need for any real decision making. There is no marine presence in the island, making it an attractive, if rather small, stop for pirates.

Locations:
Death's Shore: Perhaps the single most treacherous part of the island, Death’s Shore is the ‘shoreline’ on the South-Eastern area of the island. This place is incredibly dangerous, due to just how thin the rocks that float on the water are. Not just thin, but unstable, too hard an impact can have it crack and open up to the super heated waters beneath. It has earned something of a reputation among dare devils to try and run across it without being plummeted to a boiling death, or even for duels between the particularly foolhardy.

Flotsam Ranch: Not so much a ranch as a farm for some of the larger and tastier forms of fish that live in the Green Ring surrounding Blackrock Island, the ranch is a collection of floating boats from where the owner runs the system, surrounded in the waters by long nets to keep the ‘livestock’ from getting out, and other things from getting in. They’re often looking for help getting up the fish, or doing sweeps to take care of any nasty pests that are trying to, or have gotten through their nets.

Obsidian Pool: Not quite a pool so much as one of the few areas that is good for leisure. Here a part of the island has actually formed into just a solid surface of obsidian. Of course this area used to be much smaller and rougher, but someone had a great idea to smooth it out, to take what obsidian he could find and expand it. The result is something that is actually a bit similar to an ice rink, that the townsfolk and even visitors can ‘skate’ on.
