Things I wanted to include

Note: These are all canon, I just couldn't find a way to fit them on the wiki (yet). Enjoy.


 * ACCURATE / REAL / HISTORICAL FACTS
 * The Caribbean doesn't have any tides! Crazy, huh?
 * The islands have no big land mammals whatsoever. No deer, no rabbits, no nothing. The only animals there are the ones brought by humans. There are mainly just birds, bats, and insects. However, for the purposes of hunting and story and whatnot, we've allowed normal mammals and predators to be roleplayed out in the wilderness.
 * In terms of seasons, these are divided into two main types; the high season which runs roughly from mid-December through mid-April, and the low season which runs from June through November. In addition, there are two shoulder seasons in the spring and autumn. The low season is also the hurricane season in the Caribbean.
 * Factions active near Isla de Oro include the French, Spanish, English, and even the Dutch and Danish.


 * CREATURES
 * There's a little milkturtle colony living on the beaches of Isla de Oro, near the town. They're rather friendly creatures who enjoy sunbathing and cuddles. Despite their name, they're actually tortoises and can't swim. They're bright green in colour and have a near-permanent smile.
 * There's a basilisk in the swamp. It's a big feathered snake that turns creatures into stone with its eyes. It has made its own little museum of statues over the centuries.
 * A dragon lives on Isla de Oro! She's asleep underneath the volcano. She's also the mother of Eggy.
 * The dragon shares its home with a small colony of fire salamanders, which are basically bright red lizards that love to laze in and around the magma all day. They can't leave the volcano due to the outside being too cold.
 * There are tons of different Fae, spirits, and elementals living in and around the island. However, they often shy away from humans due to their destructive nature, making them quite elusive.
 * There is a pack of wild dogs roaming the wilderness.
 * The Guardian of the Dead Forest, a giant snake with metal scales that can spit acid, is named Ferros the Silver-Scaled. If Ferros is killed, it'll regenerate and come back to life on the third sunrise after it's death.


 * ISLAND LORE
 * The natives have gone underground and live in the massive cave systems underneath Isla de Oro. They still exist and have a thriving subterranean society.
 * Those caves are filled with all sorts of cool stuff, including massive glowing crystals. They also hold lots of dangerous creatures. The Quacken's lair and the Siren Caves are connected to this same cave system, as is the volcano, which is how the Quacken and the dragon met.
 * Tiwran is responsible for the Dead Forest. They claim that it's an accident and don't like being reminded of it.
 * THE BADLANDS WERE AN ACCIDENT TOO OKAY DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT!
 * There was going to be a portal to a "mirror world" at the bottom of the Silver Lake, a kind of magical world where you could have near limitless adventures. NOTE: This never happened and might not be canon.
 * Gemstones and minerals you can find on the island include but are not limited to: gold, lead, azurite, malachite, pyrite, tourmaline, quartz, and calcite.
 * A particular kind of mushroom grows in the swamp that glows and that's hallucinogenic as all hell. Wheeew.
 * If the volcano becomes active again (which can be achieved by waking the dragon), a geyser field will appear north to it, spewing out hot water, mud, and gas regularly.
 * The rock on Isla de Oro is actually predominantly white, which is why the Badlands and the beaches are white as well. Quarries will dig up marble-like material in colour.
 * The berries in the Dead Forest are incredibly toxic. Eating more than 2 will kill a man.
 * There used to be quite a beautiful little shrine atop of Mount Oro, on the little green island in the centre of the mountaintop lake. Sarathiel, the angel who tried to destroy Puerto Dorado, used it as a base. It was destroyed in the fight to kill her after her mass destruction weapon awakened the volcano and caused it to erupt. The shrine and the lake were blasted into oblivion. The volcano still emits smoke every now and then.
 * There's a clearing in the wilderness made from pure gold, created by Midas when his curse went wild due to chaos corruption. It's where he lives in a small camp that's little more than two tents and a campfire.


 * TOWN LORE
 * Puerto Dorado was taken by the pirates in a long, bloody battle circa 1750.
 * The Fort was blown up by The Hound, a pirate hunter who worked with the British. It has since been rebuilt.
 * Most of the town is abandoned. Currently, there's around 7.9k inhabitants, but there's enough buildings for 18k. These people lived here during the original gold boom that the Spanish brought, but after the mines were closed due to the tsunami, the population plummeted again. The further away from the harbour you get, the less buildings are inhabited, until you end up with entire neighbourhoods being nothing but ghost towns.


 * MAGIC LORE
 * Tin prevents any and all active magicks. For example, skellies continue to exist since their magic is passive, but you can't conjure fireballs or create illusions. This doesn't protect from incoming magicks, making it the easiest way to deal with enemy mages.
 * Lead blocks magic out, serving as a shield of sorts. However, it also means you can't use magic while wearing it.
 * You can find much more cool stuff related to magic and how to use it in Helena's Book of Shadows.


 * OTHER LORE
 * The island is really just a playground of Davy Jones', but it's not the only one. He's set up more places like these across the various seas and oceans. Isla de Oro is one of the more successful ones.
 * Most of the Nightwatch had their sentience taken from them by Jones. They remain little more than just bodies capable of following simple orders, speaking only through rattling bones and clacking jaws. They're unable to come up with plans of their own.
 * The island was originally created by the trinity of gods, Tiwran (they/them), Celos (he/him), and Leileth (she/her).
 * The entire Wiki is written in British English. Fuck you, Americans. :)
 * There are various religions on Isla de Oro, such as the religion of the Great Egg (believed in almost solely by Eggouus) and the Holy Crab religion (believed in almost solely by the Nightwatch).
 * If Jane had the chance to grow the Galleon crew to a size that it'd be possible to split into two and create the new Nightwatch ship she and Grim had always dreamed of, it would've been named The Moonbound Maiden. She would've been a ship filled with werebeasts, with each crewmember cursed to transform into a specific beast when the moon comes out. Like the skellies, they'd be immortal guardians of the island, but they'd be alive and be able to hold onto their human veneer during the daytime.



Have a good one, y'all. Take good care of yourself and your friends. May the fleet sail forever. -Loremaster Jane Barnaby
