The island is well known for being the home of the Yellow monks and their monastery, located near the peak of the islands lone, tree covered mountain . There is also a small town with a port on the island's east coast. Saffron- A small port town, it started out as a place where merchants would barter with the monks for supplies, and steadily grew into a settlement. Since the monks were quite protective of the Kigane Tree's, they weren't allowed to use them for the construction, so the buildings are made from wood and stone that has gradually been imported to the island. This makes the town look like a bit of a Mish-mash of various different places. Golden Monastery- Located close to the peak of the golden mountain, it is home to the Yellow Monks and outsiders can only enter with special permission. The temple has a large stone wall around it, with Kigane Bark on top. Inside, the temple itself is built into a large Kiganae Tree, that has been trimmed to resemble a pagoda. The islands most striking feature are Kigane Tree's, whose leaves have a yellow-orange color all year round, they cover the lone mountain all the way up to the summit. This often makes people think that the island is an autumn one, since tree's tend to shed their golden leaves in the autumn, however the island seems to be more attuned to the season of spring. The Kigane Tree's themselves are more than just a pretty face. Their smooth, reddish bark is incredibly resilient, and many useful wares can be made from it. The Yellow Monks use the bark from the tree's to fashion the triangular sotowa-ru they wear as part of their robes. |
