Patji, The Father, is the largest island in the Pantheon. It is located in the center of the archipelago.

Geography

The island is one of the most difficult of the Pantheon to gain access to. Its coast is mostly cliffs and dangerous rocky beaches.

In the center of the island, surrounded by a caldera, is a lake called Patji's Eye.

Ecology

The island was blanketed in dense jungle. Many of the most violent land animals on the planet are native to Patji. Most of the plant and animal life on the island have a cognitive ability, allowing them to sense, or even communicate with, humans and other animals.

Patji's Fingers

a flowering tree, the blossoms projects the thoughts of a wounded animal to attract a group of predators who then kill themselves to fertilise the tree.

Patji's eye is home to a parasite which infects the wildlife and cause the cognitive abilities.

History

Dusk chose to be the islands trapper, and set up a number of safecamp's around the island. He bred Aviar to sell on the homeisles and the mainland. He also at some point bred a mainland chick on the island, Sak, and she gained a similar cognitive talent, the ability to predict the death of her companion, and projecting a vision of their corpse into their field of view.
