That island life.

[Ara D.]

Most recently I've been playing on large islands. I don't know if it's the fact that I or my prey have limited range so I I have more opportunities to spot wild life, but I seem to have more success with this "locked in" together by geography. At least it makes me notice how rich in wildlife UrW is. Last island between kills and subsequent sightings, 4 elk, a reindeer herd, 2 lynx 2 badger 2 weasels an erimine, a fox, couple of badgers, pair of grey seals, half a dozen squirrels, and I heard wolves but who knows how far that sound can carry.

Island life is a peaceful life.  At least until you're trapped there with a couple Njerps...

Or you picked the Unfortunate Hunting Accident with your dad being mauled in front of you by a man killing bear that you are alone with on a starting island... 

from the tales of Beodrin.

It happened.

I tried island life once and quickly tired of the endless paddling. I can't imagine how long it takes to find villages to trade with, much less foreign traders!
