Abinal

Also known as The Land of the Gods. Abinal is a large island in the most isolated part of the western seas. Not much is known about it to mortals as most have only come within a certain distance of the shore. What few explorers have returned speak of an impossibly thin tower rising up far above the clouds and into the highest part of the sky. Others report arcane and mysterious structures extending all the way down to the beaches.

What everyone is sure of, however, is that mortals are strictly forbidden. The skies and shores of Abinal are patrolled by different guardians of each god. Any that try to land on the island are killed immediately and often without warning. This has led many to theorize that it really is the physical dwelling place of the major gods and that they take great offense to the presence of mortals. Some high priests and pilgrims have often ignored the warnings in an attempt to commune with their patron god directly but all have met a predictable fate.

The truth is that Abinal is the location of the first and most important World Chain. The gods have given their servants strict orders to kill or turn away anyone that would try and approach it. The chance that a mere mortal would be able to disrupt a World Chain is low, but no measure is too severe when it comes to containing Almor.
