Description:  After the whole Nova Malto incident, The Corrington Colonial Council decided to do something to about the troublesome Captain Mesabi. The solution was simple, send him to a faraway island. Isle 14, AKA Keep-Yer-Boots-On, AKA Argentia, was decidedly the right place. Littered with waste from passing ships, cacti, crabs with hats, and mysterious plants, Argentia is perhaps the most depressing of the Islands of the Prio Sea, and a perfect place to keep Mesabi from causing more trouble.

Undeterred, Captain Mesabi established a settlement on the barren isle, naming it after himself. Newly ennobled, He seeks to make the settlement the greatest in the Prio seas, at all costs. 

Original Information:

 

 

 

Island #: 14
Nickname: Keep-Yer-Boots-On

Geographical Features: This Island is drier than nearby Cascadia, and therefore does not sustain the same moisture loving plants. Instead the island is a haven for cacti and succulents of all types. The soil is sandy and rocky throughout the island, and the tallest trees are the palms on the coast. Many fibrous grasses and spiked prickly plants do well here.
Rumors: It is rumoured that one of the succulents introduced to this island from further east bears sap ten times sweeter than sugar cane.
