Witch Island
Witch Island or Sirr'Ur is believed by locals to be inhabited by a coven of witches who built a community at the foot of the vulcanic mountain. It is said those not born on its soil must offer equal the amount of their wish's value or face catasthropic consequences.
Albeit considered a hoax by most, local legends say the island once imprisoned either an Archaic God or an Earthly One. Hence, the Gods tied the witches' bloodline to the land. Should a witch ever leave and should they exercise their ability for wrong reasons misfortune awaits them.
This supertitious story gained mainstream popularity following the murders of several young women that spanned most of the 80s. News outlet of the era reportedly claimed all of them were originally from Witch Island.
