Zinnacca Island
Zinnacca Island is a small island covered in heavy jungle. It is known to be mountainous and very humid. The heavy vegetation conceals a jungle crawling with various forms of exotic creatures. The tribesmen who inhabit this island are reported to be cannibals who like to keep the skulls, skins, and finger bones of their victims as trophies. Zinnacca Island is home to the legendary Keela tree, which is sought for because of its properties of regeneration. The darkness of the island, while holding many wondrous plants, is also home to terrible creatures such as the Giant Sugarpot, a plant which grows flush with the ground and emits scents and pheromones that attract animals to its slippery blossom. The plant grows by forging a cleft in the ground. Once any victim falls in the top of the blossom it closes and the victim is forced to suffocate and then slowly be digested in the acidic slime of the Sugarpot. For an adventurer, the island can hold a horrible fate, or a great reward.
