Betony

History
Betony, otherwise known as the Purple Isle, is an island off the north-east coast of Andarus. Its names are derived from the plentiful purple flower that blooms in all but the fragmented north of the island, where the icy sea and cold winds have eroded and broke away large pieces of rock, forming the scattering of sparsely-inhabited outer-islands nicknamed the Coronet. Like most of Andarus, Betony is run by a feudal system, however, where Andarus is large enough for each king to have his own kingdom with plenty of room left for expansion, the borders of Betony’s kingdoms are constantly pushing against one another. This is because a large amount of multiple births occur frequently, a long-lasting side effect of Brynwyn of Alsmine’s experimentations with the Soulfire, resulting in constantly swelling populations. Currently, the large amount of commoners working the fields means that food production is at an all-time high, but each king knows that this cannot be maintained for much longer and have started to turn their attention to their neighbour’s lands.
