Shug'reim

The island of Shug'reim was created by a reclusive order of friars dedicated to a deity whose name is lost to history, since they never wrote anything down in verbal form. Modern clerical scholars regard the island as a fascinating monument to the theological past, and it is one of the favored pilgrimage sites of archivists, many of whom claim to have discovered new spells after months of wandering Shug'reim's rocky, windswept surface or plumbing its cavernous interior. The incomprehensible glyphs scattered across the island's desolate surfaces reveal no obvious meaning, but esoterically minded spiritualists often claim to grasp subtly powerful secrets as a result of their lengthy contemplation of the island's poetic emptiness. Others to whom they communicate these revelations often simply shake their heads, muttering that there are easier ways of discovering a new divine spell to cast.
