Isle of Man

The Isle of Man is a small island in the North Sea notable for being the spot where man originated, according to Elvish legend. It is said the first Hairy Men were spotted coming out of caves on the Isle of Man by the seafaring elves who made their kingdoms on the North Sea. When Hairy Men, and later Man, became a real force, their first kingdom formed on the Isle of Man, before they set off to the mainland. Nowadays, nothing remains but storm beaten ruins. The Northern Isles are now the realm of humans who live amongst the ruins of the islands, practicing magics of the elves long-forgotten. Still, the Academy sends scholars to the Isle of Man to try to decipher truth from myth.
