The Rise of the Windigo King (OOC and Signup)

Just off the coat of mainland Equestria lie the islands of Junna:a small chain of islands with the only settlement of note being Port Summer, itself a fairly small island town.

If there were two things about Junna and Port Summer that would stand out they’d be its climate and its history. The islands of Junna are warm and humid all year round, experiencing a sunny tropical warmth even when winter storms blow everywhere else. This unusual trait is so well known that many claim that “Time has stopped in Junna!” Indeed researchers, scholars, and mages often claim the islands always seems to be flooded with an unexplainable and ancient magic. This combined with the islands history of being won from native tribes of wild ponies that some would swear still hide in the jungles, and the ruins that often seem to prove them correct, has turned the small island town into a tourism hotspot!

It would seem that there is some new event every week to draw the eye and lighten the wallets of the visitors that flock to the island year-round. The town itself bares its history for all to see, the buildings in Port Summer all built from a local white stone that was frequently used by the ancient wild ponies. The town itself is built in four tiers, as part of a pony-made mountain built to help defend the original settlers. Even the tallest of buildings don’t go more than five floors high. All except the indomitable Fort Storm built at the very top tier of the town and whose high stone walls easily dominate the skyline. Once a fort built to contain and protect nearly the entire original settlement of Port Summer, it now acts as prison and headquarters for the guards stationed on the island, weathering age, wars, monsters, and storms for over 500 years with nary a crack or chip to be found.

Though just as the weather is not always sunny and calm, neither is the city always peaceful. The veritable flood of tourists, from families and salary ponies to movie stars and nobles, has attracted a swarm of rogues, con-artists, and pick pockets to stalk the shadows of the town and keep the guards busy.
