Flora

Located in the Black Sea, the island is shaped like at teardrop. It’s close to the Amazon, but much smaller and far more primitive.

Flat tropical land with only one small mountain range.

Rocky shores to the North where the island’s shore is most narrow.

Fine white sand to the South at the widest part of the island.

Waterfalls, rapids, and a severed oak from which the first homes were built.

The King harbors a great secret about the island’s origin.

The Amazon

Home to the daughters of Ares and Harmonia, an island habited only by women trained to be the most elite warriors in the world.

Obsidian Valley is where Hippolyte and her sisters, Antiope and Melanippe, were raised by the nymphs. They sought refuge for many years until they became the elite warriors they are today.

Though plain and far less lavish than other Greek towns, stone structures mark the capital city of Thermiskyra.
The lush green woodlands neighboring the enormous buildings and stone pathways lead to the entrance of Oak Grove, the haven to which the Amazonians are born.

The Abyss is the site of the annual trials. Young warriors compete for the honor of wearing the Belt of Hippolyte. The winner is inducted into the warrior guards and stationed at the Cliffs. These are the protectors of the Amazon.
