Tortugan Tropical Landmarks [Map & Territory] - Raikov - June 21, 2017

TORTUGA'S TROPICAL TERRITORY

The volcano eruption didn’t just cause chaos in Saboro. The ground shook and trembled with a fierce earthquake that made the mountains that make up the Verge collapse inwards; utterly destroying Tortuga’s old territory. With heavy hearts, the pirates will left their broken home behind in search of a few one. Tortuga mass migrated down south to settle down into a new uninhabited tropical territory located by Thunder Cove. This is their home now.

Forest Biome: Tortuga's territory is largely made up of a tropical ran forest filled with waterfalls, rivers, streams and a large variety of unique and exotic animals, herbs and poisons. The territory is filled with dense growth of plant life, ranging from tall trees, vines and bushes. It is an excellent opportunity to grow and develop our own gardens where we can breed poisons and cures due to the rich and fertile soil of the forest floor. The climate is very hot and humid in the heart of the forest, yet the tropical beaches are far cooler with a sea breeze. The forest biome is home to many large animals such as gorillas, cats, okapi, rhinoceros, tapir and reptiles. Smaller animals that can be seen, and often act as companions to the pirates, include tropical birds, frogs, monkeys, sloths, snakes, rodents and other small mammals.

Marine Biome: The tropical beach lies along the coastline that's home to many marine creatures. A coral reef takes up a large portion of the beach, identifiable with the crystal clear water and a variety of brightly coloured fish. Coral is harvested to fashion more diverse trinkets. The water is very warm and further out to sea, particularly surrounding the small islands, there are larger mammals such as dolphins, manatees and sharks accompanied by smaller, brighter fish that can be seen from the surface. Large beds of seaweed layer the ocean floor along with crustaceans and sea cucumbers. There is also a larger, more dangerous beast that lurks in the deepest depths of the water; the Megalodon.

TROPICAL FOREST

The Pirate Ship - Devil's Doom

Home to the members of the Captain's Deck. It lies in the shallow waters of the cove, a sandy trail leading up to the entrance inside the ship. Tortuga's flag flies high on the mast as a beacon. Inside is a vast amount of treasure and trinkets that has been acquired by the Sirens and Strikers from raiding, guarded closely by the Sharks. Each room that houses the Captain's Deck members is adorned with thick, silky pelts and cushions. Rank Masters are allowed inside the ship without permission. Gunners guard the outside.

Abandoned Huts

Rows of abandoned huts are in a small cluster along the beach. Once inhabited by humans, the pirates of Tortuga make their dens in here. These shelters are optional for higher ranked members to live in. Basic repairs can be commissioned from the Crafters.

Coves & Caves

Along the edges of the beach, there are a select few coves that hold shallower water for fishing and harvesting of marine plants. it is also home to crabs and lobsters in the warm water. Ideal for finding larger seashells.

Waterfalls

A large variety of waterfalls are littered around Tortuga's new home. Inside the waterfalls are accessible via a cave network. These caves also double as access into Tortuga from the outside world, thus it is inhabited frequently by the Watchmen.

Hotsprings

Small pockets of hot springs can be found inland, though the most famous is the larger pool located inside a deep cavern. These are very much public use for anyone, even Scallywags, and are used often by the Surgeons to soothe aches and pains of their patients.

Salt Mine

Inside the mountain rock is Tortuga's abandoned salt mine. Inside is dark, echoing sounds rumble from its depths. Due to its maze like structure, it's advised members go in pairs lest they get lost. Rumours have it there are ghosts down there that can be heard at night.
