The island of Riki Kiki
Mainland and neighbouring island.
Riki-Kiki
Riki-Kiki is a volcanic island, somewhere in the middle of a big, wide, blue ocean. It is surrounded by reefs, and is the most isolated member of a small archipelago spread out across a great expanse.
There were once people on Riki-Kiki, but not anymore. Traces of them are scattered around the island, but today there is nobody to be seen. These days, it is almost entirely inhabited by plants.

Though it is impossible to visit, everyone knows what Riki-Kiki looks like. The people who live nearby can describe it to you very clearly, and fortunately there are one or two surviving documents of the landscape and its wildlife - but they are very old. No soul has set foot on Riki-Kiki’s shores for as long as anyone can remember, but people still hear about odd occurrences on the island.

Strange objects
Strange objects keep washing up on Tuvu Beach, and along the South Coast. Stone artefacts, which are similar in shape to a bizarre feature of the island: a huge metal door in the side of the great volcano, Mt. Kiki.

Mt. Kiki
Mt. Kiki is active, although a truly dramatic eruption (a “Big One'“) has not happened for some time. Some wildlife use Mt. Kiki to their advantage with clever natural adaptations. On the lip of the volcano are the ruins of a very old observatory. Somebody recently said that a light was seen in one of the observatory windows, but this can’t be true.

A ferocious summer storm. These enormous stone arches are evidence of ancient inhabitants of Riki-Kiki. They are said to have the power to deter unwanted visitors to the island, by making sailors yawn and fall asleep, crashing and sinking their ships.
Fearsome tropical storms have begun appearing more and more frequently around Riki-Kiki. These storms tend to pass over the island without too much damage, however their increase is alarming. Some say the cone of the great volcano Mt. Kiki affords the island some sort of magical protection.
