Name of Island: Gesso Island
General Information: This was once a rather normal island... until a mysterious, rainbow shaped cloud floated overhead. That's the day when white primer first rained from the sky, and that was a hundred years ago! Now, on Gesso Island, everything is pure white. The people, the animals, and the plants. Luckily, there's a fresh source of water underground, and the primer is completely harmless. However, as a result... color has become the most valuable commodity to the people who live here. People covet colorful tattoos, regardless of subject, and adore colorful clothing on sunny days. Any colorful objects are carefully horded and used to decorate the insides of their houses. Safe from the rain, these result in eye-searingly bright interiors.

People visiting will find that their beli is completely useless. On this pure white island, the economy is based around 1oz tubes of paint! Basic Earth tones are the smallest amount of currency... with more exotic shades being held at higher value. Colorful clothing, trinkets, and paintings are all worth more depending on how much color they contain.
Shape of Island/Map: Shaped like an artist's pallet with a small white lake where the thumb hole would be. The rest of the island is white meadows surrounding the central town.
Weather: Gesso Island has a mild, spring-like climate... it's most notable feature is it's white rain and omni-present rainbow cloud. It rains on a mysteriously regular schedule... every three days.
Description: Turpintown
The main village on Gesso Island is situated right at the center of the island. It's fairly large and bustling but still seems rather depressing due to it's lack of color. The buildings all look alike, so non-natives are almost guaranteed to get lost. Visitors may be encouraged to change into white clothing, less unscrupulous people snip scraps of color from their clothing when they aren't looking.

However, those willing to brave the open in flamboyant, colorful clothing will often be regarded by the average citizen as rich and successful. Such attributes grant a warmer welcome in stores and public places.

Gesso Island Visitor Center and Dock
To the west of the island is an unusual little building that faces out onto Gesso Island's only dock, this is the place to go to learn about the place you've landed. More importantly, this has the only store on the island where you can use beli. You can sell off anythings you don't want for color-rated prices, or buy tubes of paint. It is the home of Ultramarine, an old man who loves paintings above all other things. He likes to wear a bright neon poncho, though don't be fooled, he is a critical, sharp trader.

Colorless Catacombs
Located to the eastern edge of the Island, several cave entrances open up onto the bench. Within these holes are oversized insects that one would usually find in dusty old homes. Believed to be a side effect of the great care that clothing is given on the island, particularly those colorful materials; the moths, bedbugs and even cockroaches have been driven into these dark tunnels.

In the dark they have grown considerably, the average insect being the size of a full grown man. They rarely venture beyond their caverns, which go deep to the base of the island where the water reservoir exists. They tend to be passive.

Special Notes:A relatively peaceful starting Island. The people govern themselves and only require a small outpost on the edge of the town to report the movements of pirates but rarely act on them. The most interesting part of the island is to trade colorful things for beli, making that useless red lint an extremely valuable item.

Whilst the threat of snippers is noticeable, a far worse horror lurks in the town praying on the vulnerable. Turpintown is at the mercy of the Color Capture Clowns in some very small, secluded areas. These circus themed color snatchers are rumored to attack tourists, steal their clothes and spray their skin white before running off cackling. They usually travel in groups of five and have masks covering their faces. They are generally disliked by everyone else on the island and sometimes arrested if caught meddling with visitors.

Coulrophobia is common on the island.
