Island of Many Things

Setting

         These one offs take place on a massive island which while it is not big enough to be considered a continent its still bigger than most islands. Comparing it to Australia it about 2/3 its size. The Island is called the Island of many things because it has almost every climate on earth right next to each other. Also the weather is completely wild. Example one day its snowing in your town the the next its like a drought has started with all water evaporated. There are some major factions on the island fighting over everything and anything. Which is why Heros as we call them are hired to keep peace to the common folk. Heros jobs are to stop uprisings and crime in the area they have been hired to guard. But some Heros try to bring peace the entire land by setting foundations for a single force to control the entire island. Though other Heros exploited the system for good and evil for you see not all Heros are good. The three major groups are as follows. There is the Paladin Order who is generally seen as the "good" guys but many lead Paladins have been lead astray for money or other reasons. Then there is the Dark Hands who run there city's with Murder and Bribes. They are made of former Paladins who have a good sense of guide lines. They are considered "Evil". There is one more the army made from citizens who left both sides for free rights like our founding fathers because The Paladin Order and Dark Hands break a lot of freedoms to do what they do. But while you think Heros are just hands for hire sure some are. But the ones to be remembered because of there heroic actions for the greater good of everyone. Then there's the people of the island where there's a lot of different races of people. these are the generalization of there culture from the many people from through out my days. For example there's the humans who are very adaptable but they can't make magic themselves. Then there's the elves who are able to create magic and control it extremely well. Elves though overtime have been corrupted by there natural affinity by there magic. So they are raised in racist community's where everyone who can't control magic are shunned and in some examples murdered. There's the dwarves who can't use magic but there really resistant to magic. From this though they are easy addicts. Then there's the scary Dragon Folk they can use magic effectively and can even breath the element of there scales. Dragon Folk culture is aggressive so they often attack city's for all the gold and silver. Beast Folk are animals that have grown in intelligence from most animals they can even use nature magic. Beast Folk are more primitive then all the other cultures.
