All right, I'll put my two minutes in. The world of IF has been overrun by zombies. The Isle of Cystia is the only place they dare not tread, and here our hardy survivors have washed up. But it's a harsh desert land, stretches of sand dotted only here and there with a tiny oasis or some fragment of a past civilization. A very ancient and very magical library (the best kind!) in the very center of the island may be the source of the island's protection. The library is surrounded by a crumbling wall, with a moat segmenting the remains of an ancient township, and it's been observed that no monsters come within this zone, setting hideous appendage neither within the wall or for a small stretch around it. Naturally, we made out initial camp in this protected area. But being ragged survivors we have few resources to work with as we begin the noble work of terraforming and claiming the desert to be a suitable new home. So, it's either a slow work of scavenging and making the most of very few resources. OR Well, there are some islands out there we passed on our boats. (Name these after different parts of the site, or enemy communities if that helps make this more on theme.) These islands are quite small and would need to be charted properly by intrepid explorers. They contain the typical resources in an assortment of biomes. However, without the library's protection, they all seem to be HIDEOUSLY dangerous to even set foot on in some way. Proper war parties would have to be mounted to systematically strip them of their resources and bring the bounty back home. tl;dr world when I can't wait to log in once every two weeks and never leave the safe zone.
