Here is my entry in the Island Game Experiment.
Grass Island
Grass Island was so named because the windward side of the island is a low, flat plain. The native grasses grow waist high to a tall man and wild horses and cattle run free.
This temperate island measures just about 25 miles long by 20 miles wide. The aforementioned plains make up a 20 mile long, 10 mile wide strip on the western side of the island. The eastern half of the island is dominated by a 20 mile long range of forested volcanic mountains, with the dormant volcano, Mount Kikomo, rising to a height of just over 3,000 feet.
The people of the island, the Eami, came here about 1,500 years ago after a long migration across a distant continent. They are a tall, lean dark skinned people who capture and train the wild horses and hunt the rather aggressive wild cattle. Additionally, they fish in the river & sea and farm on the mountain slopes. The Eami worship a Mother Goddess who, according to their holy women, lives in all things.
The Eami primarily live in three large towns (pop. 10,000) and several small villages. They are, by and large, a peaceful people, but have been known to repel invading raiders with a truly devastating show of force.
