Name of Island: Rust Pit Island General Information: Rust Pit Island is essentially that. The island is actually made up of a rare mineral called Burdum, a very easy to smelt ore with a pleasant reddish-brown color that is stronger and easier to shape then brass or copper but is far rarer. Rust Pit Island is the only place in the world where it can be harvested in any mass, in fact the island is made of the stuff. The island's trade is in fact harvesting and exporting massive quantities of it around the World. The Burdum that composes the island is breaking down, forming both the massive 'Rust' pit that the islanders harvest and eventually, in perhaps two-hundred years or so, the island will completely collapse from deterioration and the Burdum will be lost forever. The island formed after a great naval battle between the Bloodbeard Pirates and the Gearbox Pirates, in which several allied crews were called upon from each side. Both sides were massacred; the Bloodbeard pirates narrowly claiming victory and drained the blood of their enemies into the ocean to mark their triumph. The carnage spread across miles of sea, and in the months that followed, it all slowly formed together. Many years later, Rust Pit Island was created. After an incident involving a massive pirate ship erupting from within the island, the entire left side of the island is now cracked and scarred and is only held together with the help of numerous large support beams. Shape of Island/Map: Doughnut shaped. Center of donut is red. Essentially an island that is constantly deteriorating from the inside out. The island right now looks essentially like a large ring of slightly reddish ground covered in dry grass and small, thin trees with dusky red leaves. In the center of the island is a large sinkhole that is absolutely filled with what looks like rust. Red flakes are as far and deep as the eye can see. Weather: Autumn Island Description: Cango Village On the north eastern part of the island. While it's the smallest of the three villages, Cango boasts the only aerial-based export on the island. The town is primarily constructed of cheap brick buildings and cheap housing with really few businesses and entertainment. Indeed, it has one Inn, the Rast Stop, and a single general store for a population of three hundred and two. As such, it's a close knit community focused on gathering Burdum and training their famous Redbirds. Cango Town is also home to the Roost, a large brick building with a flat roof where the Redbird Export Company is located. It's owner, Roger T. Adonis, captures and trains the Redbirds and then flies them around to nearby islands to export Burdum. The Pit The Pit is, in essence, the focal point of life on Rust Pit Island. A massive hole that has formed over decades, researchers estimate that it's depths exceed twenty meters. The hole is filled with what most assume to be 'rust' but what is actually unprocessed burdum; semi-smooth and slightly thick red and brown mineral that usually is found in flakes no larger than the size of a hand. The Pit has several pathways built above it that are made of wood or cheap stone, mainly used to get quickly across the pit and more ladders, conveyors and paths are carved deeper into the pit. Workers from all the villages are assigned sections of the pit and using pulleys, carts or even just buckets and bags, they collect and bring Burdum to the Smelting Plant. Frequently, Redbirds will swoop into the pit and nest in an area, using the burdum as both food and a place to hatch their eggs as burdum stores heat well. Though their presence impedes harvesting a bit, they are not naturally hostile and in some cases workers have been able to literally gather burdum from under the bird's feet. So long they aren't attacked or provoked, the birds are oddly docile. The Smelting Plant On the southern side of the island. Connected to the Rust Pit by several pathways and tram stations, the Smelting Plant is where Burdum refining occurs. The villages each pay a tax-like amount to the Smelting Plant based on how much Burdum they refine and in essence, the economy of the island revolves around the relationship between the villages, the Pit and the Plant. The Plant is owned by C. D. Kirdoff and his associates, rumored to be part of a Crime Family from West Blue. There are often rumors that they keep a small amount of Burdum and export itself for extra profit but no investigations are ever held. The Smelting Plant is a three story metal and brick building that has massive furnaces inside it, smoke stacks leading up into the sky for at least another story worth of height. D. Perrinone is the boss of the Smelting Plant and maintains and oddly lavish home on the third floor of the building. Special Notes: Marine's have no official base on the island, but frequently patrol the waters surrounded to defend the waters, they are paid by the rather unscrupulous criminals that run the plant. It is possible for pirate ships to slip past the few ships patrolling around the island, though there is a quick response time. The Smelting Plant also has its own defensive force, making it very hard to forcefully acquire Burdem. Redbird meat is a rare delicacy on some islands. Amongst the rust, some age old weapons may be recovered; though they will require considerable restoration before being operational. Edited by Blacklight, Dec 18 2011, 03:10 PM.
