But Souls are delicious. They're like bacon - they taste good on anything. But if you eat them, you completely remove them from existence! They can't move on or... or be reincarnated! Huh. I never really gave it much thought. Besides, what do you mean by reincarnation anyway? You know, being reborn as someone or something else. Which means different body, different memories, different experiences, yes? So isn't being reborn as "something else" the same as being "removed from existence"? I... I... eating souls isn't right! That depends on your definition of "right". All living things survive by eating other living things. So what? You're a god. You should be above all that! Gods are above living things, which doesn't necessarily mean we care about them.

After this we only have one more pre-development thread to go (deciding on the vertebrate fauna) and then we can get this shindig started.

So.... when would be a good time to end this thread? Should 4:00pm EST (approximately 18.5 hours from now) tomorrow be a good time? (If no one says no then I'll assume it's a good time)

I don't really know about the drier/wetter biomes on the sides thing entirely, but I'll still factor it in as much as possible.
It is pretty simple. If you have a mountain chain, you can have a side in the rain shadow and a side with much higher precipitation. So if the mountains run north -south, the western side will be much wetter and more humid . This doesn't mean that the dry side is necessarily going to be a desert, however. This is the case for the UK actually - the west coast is much wetter, more humid, has a form of temperate rainforest present, but the east coast is pretty far from being arid!

I'm honestly not a great fan of islands with volcanic origins, as they generally don't last long and their geography is constantly changing. Moreover, only a hot spot could create an island which got close to land three times, as opposed to "regular" volcanism between two plate borders.

Maybe there could be a large non-active volcano in the north of Isa, with a huge crater that has it's own microclimate and even some endemic species, like some volcanoes in Papua/New Guinea.

Would there be low lying areas of the island close to the sea? Those could harbor very interesting mangrove swamp ecosystems.

Projects and concepts that I have stewing around Extended Pleistocene- An alternate future where man died out, and the megafauna would continue to thrive (may or may not include a bit about certain future sapients) Inverted World- An alternate timeline where an asteroid hit during the Barremian, causing an extinction event before the Maastrichtian. Dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and notosuchians make it to the present, along with a host of other animals. Badania- Alien planet that has life at a devonian stage of development, except it exists in the present day. Ido- Alien world where hoppers (derived flightless ballonts) and mouthpart-legged beasts are prevalent. Leto- Life on a moon orbiting a gas giant with an erratic orbit; experiences extremes of hot and cold. The Park- ??? Deeper Impact- a world where the K-Pg extinction wipes out crocodilians, mammals, and birds; squamates, choristoderes, and turtles inherit the earth. World of Equal Opportunity- alternate history where denisovans come across Beringia and interact with native fauna. Much of the Pleistocene fauna survives, and the modern humans that end up crossing into North America do not overhunt the existing animals. 10,000 years later, civilizations exist that are on par with European and Asian societies. The Ditch- Nothing is what if seems..

Mangroves would have to be on the northern coasts of Isa, because it wouldn't be warm enough elsewhere.
EDIT: There could still be some estuaries in more southern regions, though. Just no mangroves.
