The new island...

On clear days, an island can be seen from the remote island of Roratonga! An island that is too far away to swim over, but that can be reached by those who have a suitable boat!


The island is inhabited by a rather peaceful tribe, who permit a trading post on their soil.
There is a treaty between the inhabitants of the trading post and the tribe to coexist peacefully and respect each other.

Its name is Xochiquetzal, named after an Aztec goddess of fertility.
As this name is a tongue-breaker for travelers, the westerners gave it the name "Pakapuka", as they can't remember the Aztec name.
 
So much for the draft back story, that is to evolve, as "inhabitants" pour in.

The island


Largely covered by jungle, the island offers many nice spots to spend sensuous moments, but also some hidden forest glades, where darker business may be taking place.
Boats can be used to travel between the islands.
Evidently Castaways don't have boats however, so they can only get there as leashed prisoners, led by their captor!

As a temporary means, there will be a boat standing near the pirates place. Board (walk into) it to get teleported up.
Later we will refine the travel a bit!

Residents of the island know about the "practices" going on on their neighbor island but are smart enough to simply turn a blind eye, as long as they are not bothered!


The natives village and tribe


The exact scope of this tribe is yet to be defined... by the tribe, in coordination with the owner. 

As a starting point, the tribe is assumed to be a peaceful bunch with Aztec/Mayan roots, possibly they worship a fertility goddess and are peaceful fishermen and women.
This is the staring point only, we shall see where it takes us.

The tribe lives in a small village near the shores of the island.



"Jobs" at the village:
- Shaman
- Priestess / medicine man
- Chief - Tribe members
- other...


The trading post

Like any medieval trading post, the core piece of the place is the tavern.

Rarely ever a ship makes it to this remote location, also because its waters are known to be dangerous.


The tavern is the center of the little settlements, where all sorts of people meet, from pirates to peaceful traders.

Tavern wenches entertain the guests with food, drinks, dances and what ever money can buy.

The tavern even has a small guest quarter for tired travelers.

Next to the tavern, slave traders have a house with included brothel!


There is also a forge and a general store.


As the name implies, all factions get to this place mainly to trade or interact in other peaceful ways.
However, there may be clandestine activities going on, all over the place!

Those who disturb the peaceful trade in unjustified ways are captured and brought to justice! They may be sold as slaves or executed (banned! Please use your brain. We don't need people who think they can raid the brothel and such nonsense, pissing off others)

"Jobs" at the town
- Inn Keeper(s) (with a certain understanding for activities in the back room that nobody should see)
- Tavern Wench(es)
- Slave trader(s) / Pimps who hunt their prey on Roratonga only or externally as well and sell / auction their wares.
- Whores / Dancers
- Blacksmith(s)
- Others... be imaginative


Visitors

Cannibals, Pirates and small, harmless Animal can travel to the island!
Castaways cannot, except as prisoners on a leash.

Cannibals may for example sell slaves that are not edible, buy slaves (but be smart enough not to reveal that they are cannibals and they must respect roleplay tag limitations), or have some agreement with the brothel, or sell sulfur that is sought to make black powder etc...

Pirates will be traveling between their outpost and the trading post anyway. Some may even pretend to be honorable trading post citizens "at day" and be horrible rapists on Roratonga "at night".


Summary

While the new island offers roleplay opportunities for those who are not into cannibalism and hard core stuff, it adds many roleplay options for all who like that!
