Aanvang Island

Aanvang Island is the smallest of the three islands that make of the kingdom of Thorast. It location, in the strait between Academia and Thorast, makes it a useful stop over point for travellers between the two countries.

Aanvang island

Aanvang Island itself is just under 40km from North to South and just 10km East to West (at its widest point), which means that it is possible to ride from one end to the other in a day.

Aanvang owes its political allegiance to Thorast and the garrison at Heerlen is manned by troops that are native to that land. The ferry that runs the 20km or so from Ranst to Lilo is also partly funded by the Thorast treasury.

Aanvang is a moderately flat, lightly wooded island with few changes in terrain for travellers to worry about. There is a small copper mine close to the village of "Henk" and the town of "Vengen" supplies lumber to the neighbouring populace. Otherwise Aanvang is unremarkable in practically every way.

Its inclusion in this wiki is purely that, as a small, flat, dull island, it is the perfect place for adventurers to start their careers.
