Isle of Brandyburn

The Isle of Brandyburn is a small isle in the Misty Archipelago, home to its solitary settlement, Gautamtown. The island was created in 2003 by a volcanic eruption along with the other islands of Mistui.

The island has a very alpine/temperate feel to it; it is covered in pine trees, a peaceful and clear lake, tall mountains tipped with snow, and a raging silver river. When Grantiniolatan Alenop came under orders of King Marcus to make a settlement (for the purposes of stopping the Rushchick-Shire War), he named all the island's natural landforms, such as the river (silver like Elvish Brandy, hence being named Brandyburn; the name was carried over to the island too), the mountains (covered in native Temperate Pineapple plants, hence being named Mount Pineapple), and the lake (filled with teenyducks, hence being named the Duck Pond). But despite all those wonderful places, the town's citadel was built upon a plateau at the riverhead. The isle is famous for its pineapple plants, which grow abundantly all over the island. It is, however, extremely prone to volcanic activity, as it is the closest island (a little closer than Dragon Island) to the Exploding Mountain. The mice population has skyrocketed since hunting them was outlawed in 2019 after the Gautamtown civil war. The island is abundant in many things, like vole cities and pineapple deposits, as well as its native sapphire, the shiniest sapphire known in the archipelago and Gautamtown's signature jewel. The hunting and fishing is very good, but in wintertime the entire area is covered in snow, the pine forest, citadel, and the river and waterfalls are frozen. It melts usually in March through July, and refreezes from September to October, and blizzards and snownadoes ensue for the next eight to nine months. Overall, the Isle of Brandyburn is a wonderful national park-ish island, and home to many a lovely thing.
