Keywords are:  'island archais'

Archais is the easternmost of three large islands linked together by an
incredibly ancient portal system.  It is home to two major cities, with
Gad's Landing on the western side near the coast, and Dragon Tooth to
the east.  A host of minor islets can be found off of Archais's western
shore.  A large mountain, likely a dormant volcano, resides in the
center of the island, and the northern portion of the landscape is
strangely flat and swampy. Increasing volcanic activity in recent years
has slowly been tearing the island in half.

Archais was discovered by the mage Gad Addlebrook several centuries ago
as the result of an impressively failed teleport spell.  The town of
Gad's Landing marks approximately where the mage found himself after
regaining consciousness.

All three islands are known to be west of the main continent of Alter
Aeon, Atmir.  The exact location of any of the islands remains
undetermined - no ship sailing west from the mainland has ever found
any of the islands, while ships sailing from the islands have never
found any of the other islands or the mainland.  The distances between
the islands appear to be so great that even magical location spells are
only able to provide an approximate direction, and give no hint as to
distance beyond "really, really far away".

The island of Archais is suitable for levels 15 through 29.
