Hi! So, first as you'll notice these pages are written largely from the perspective of the campers viewing The Silent Isle from the outside in, and is meant to read like a journal entry of sorts of the Campers growing collective knowledge of this strange place. This means as you learn more and explore, these pages will expand
This was formerly an interactive setting, and so you may find reference to other real campers throughout. Many of these are things that were done during that period, or future nods to those who helped in the early days of the settings development.
Also feel free to leave comments and questions on the pages! Hell if you ask a character a question, they may answer 0.0
Here in The Astral Realm, distant from the mainland and campgrounds, sits a series of floating islands adrift in the Astral space, they float at a fixed and unchanging distance from one another and the main campgrounds, despite there being no physical connection between them.
Each island has a distinct appearance and inhabitants, many of whom are campers themselves that regularly travel back and forth from the isle and the campgrounds. However, the most interesting phenomenon of the isle is it's sound, or to be most accurate the lack thereof. As of now, no sound can escape a yet unknown radius from the isle, meaning while one sits outside them they seem to be deathly quiet. It is this phenomenon that has given it the name “The Silent Isle”
¶ Locations and Inhabitants
Thus far only a small portion of the Isle has been discovered, as nobody has ventured into them aside from those who already live there and choose to come and go as Campers. These Campers seem to use titles as their names as opposed to more traditional naming conventions, and from them we've learned the following about their strange homeland.
Known Inhabitants
- "The Explorer" (He/Him) - An incredibly friendly bird-kin humanoid with orange and red feathers. He is our primary informant, and readily shares information about the Isle. As his title would imply, he loves to use his wings and explore the endless expanse of the Astral Realms. Despite what we know of the Isle from him, we know very little about The Explorer himself
- “The Cherry Serpent” (She/Her) - A half human half snake woman who primarily resides in The Red Feather Inn. She's the chef of the inn as well as The Explorers wife, and from what both of them have shared, they have a very happy and healthy relationship.
- “The Grove Tender” (She/Her) - A friend of The Explorer, and the Botanist of The Silent Isle's inhabitants as well as the founder of The Astral Botanists Guild. She often visits to tend to the community garden, going about and watering the plants of other Campers, she appears to be in some way in tune with nature and its energies. Sometimes she can be seen alone in the community garden wearing a strange mask.
- “The Warrior” (He/Him) - Another friend and apparently former mentor of The Explorer, and the rarest to see in person. He rarely speaks, and when he does his responses are short and to the point with a low voice that you can feel through the ground if you're close enough.
- “The Machine” (They/Them) - E̸̟̗̳̬͇͑̾̇̉̓R̸̖̐R̷̡͇̦̪̈̍̓̿͝0̵̨̰̖̼̜̋̔R̸̙̪̤̻͕̊͆̑́͝ ̸͎̦̼̓̆̿-̶̳͛͌̊̎̽L̵̻̾̋0̵̡̰̰̩̺̘̊̀͒͝Ğ̶͖̘͗͘ ̸͈͛̋̒͐̚N̴̹̮͈̱̈́̅0̷̡͙̞͒̅̈́͌T̴̠̥̀͌͆͋̒̿ ̴̦͉́͐̋̽͝F̶̤̉̊͐̀͝0̶͙̥͖̭͙̣̀̒͑͝Ṵ̸͔̂͆̈́͐̎͠N̴̼̻̖̦͒D̴̜̜̓͌̒̔̈́,,̴̣͈́̈́̅̿͝ ̴̧͈̭͚̰̖̘̇È̶̢̛̩̪̪̲͚̬́̃̆͝N̵̛͍̫̈́̒T̸̛͔̫̰̰́͑͆̈́I̴̬͆͋́͋T̷̠͈͋̐̇̚Y̵̛̝̲͖̐͝ ̷͍͙̈́N̵͖̞̞̊̐̕Á̸͉̰͍͑͊M̸̻̫͑̒̌E̵̜͖̱̐̀͝ ̷̉͌"̷0̶̗̆̈͒"̵͍̉́̄Ḥ̴̭͓̒̆͠A̸̪͍͕̋S̶̭̙̼̏͒ ̵͙͑̏B̵͍̜̙͂͆E̶̛͇͎̎E̴͓̔̓̋N̷͇̮̊͊ ̸͍̯͎̬̳̂̽̓͂̒̕͘ͅT̶͓͔̝̲̮̐̈́͛͒́͌͊̕Ȩ̵̤̠͈͋R̶̛̟͖̹̀̈́̓̚M̴̮̠̹͖̜̺̃̑Í̶̢̭̤̪̗̙͇̑̀̓͗N̷̟͓̑̽̌͊̆͆̍Ḁ̶̬̘̰̪̯̜̂̏̄͋T̸̖̬̣͈̼̀̌̓̉͜Ę̵̞̗͉̱̹̍́̈́̈̔̈́͠D̴͇̳̈́͂̄͌̇

Known Locations
- “The Grove” - Presumably the same one that The Grove Tender, well- tends to. This is the closest island to the Astral Camp mainland and to those with a spyglass, VERY impressive eyes, or both, the edge of it can be seen from the edge of the mainland.
- “The Red Feather Inn” - If one travels far enough to see the entirety of The Grove come into view, they will likely also see above it The Red Feather Inn, a small floating fantasy style inn that sits roughly 5 miles above the ground that is apparently called home by The Explorer and The Cherry Serpent. It is unknown how she gets up or down, as The Explorer has confirmed she does not have wings.
- “The Wilds” - A separate island much larger than The Grove, which instead of being an island of entirely one biome is instead a mixture of landscapes and environments. Apparently, The Warrior and The Explorer often trained here, and this is where The Warrior most often lives despite having a place both in The Grove and in The Campgrounds.
