Enca

Enca the Isle of Storms (小島魔風の園佳, Kojima Makaze no Enka) is a large island mountain, located just south of the country of Sin. It is a dangerous island where none dare to tread for it is wrought with powerful thunderstorms, and severe weather patterns that make travel to the island dangerous for any ship. The island is said to have once been the home of a prosperous nation of humanoids, but would later fall into ruin thousands of years agos when a perpetual storm ravaged the land.

Description
Widely known as the "The Isle of Storms" Enca is a large mountain island with its peak situated at its center, and from there it cascades outward encompassing the entire island. Enca is known largely for the fierce thunderstorm that has darknened the sky and said to have destroyed its inhabitants thousands of years ago. The storm covers the entirety of the island and extends for a ways outwards, blanketing it and the entire area in rain and darkness. The island is also frequented with powerful tsunami's and typhoons that have all but killed most of its former inhabitants.

Atmospheric Magic
The strange weather patterns that have plagued Enca has often baffled the citizens and mages of neighboring countries. The fierce storm of which it is named after has yet to have settled, and at one point an expedition of mages were sent to investigate. Unfortunately many did not return, however those that did were able to present a theory.

Enca is an island with an unusual number of ley lines that criss-cross beneath it, that in its past and the frequency of its storms, eventually led to an enormous concentration of magical energies within the atmosphere. For countless millennia, storms have always been revered as an awesome source of raw magical power, and when combined with the island's location and unusual levels of magic, eventually the storms that plagued became permanent.

As a result the very atmosphere is saturated with magical energy that appears to go through a perpetual feedback cycle which in turn fuels the thunderstorms. Attempts at harnessing this source of power have been met with constant failure, largely due to the instability of the magic saturating its air. Those that have tried have been likewise vaporized by the immense surge of magical energies in their bodies. Even mages specializing in lightning have been overcome by the sheer quantity of magical power that their bodies were unable to sustain function.

However, there are creatures native to the island that continue to thrive, these magical beasts have adapted to the intense magical surges, and possess an affinity for storm magic. How they are able to mitigate and contain the surges of raw magic is uncertain, however attempts at capturing them have likewise failed. Beyond the fact that the isle is impossible to navigate due to sudden whirlpools, fierce winds that could topple a vessel into its ocean depths, and clouds of lightning, the magical energy in the atmosphere appears to disrupt the function of magic in general. On its surface magic is simply put "wild", uncontrollable, and difficult to maintain. Due to all of these factors, the Isle of Storms has largely remained an unknown in Earth Land.

History
There is very little that is known regarding its history, and few if any are able to make expeditions to discover the ancient secrets of the isle. Even if they could, much of the lands history has been eradicated due to the severe weather. What is known is that the island was inhabited by humans or humanoids thousands of years ago, and were supposedly a properous nation. When the storm hit however, much of the island and its inhabitants were killed, and those that didnt perhaps fled or lost at sea. There are those that theorize that the survivors fled underground and have remained ever since.

Inhabitants
Enca the Isle of Storms is home to a number of races on Earth Land, many of which possess innate magical abilities or magical potential. They are very powerful and stories propagate throughout countries of large sea serpents and other such mythological creatures that dwell in its region.
