Islands of Equinesia

The Islands
The Islands of Equinasia are North of North's tropical islands, located on the Eastern coast of the continent. They are similar in climate to the Hawaiin Islands, with a similar native culture there as well. (For instance, in Coral and the Pearl Diver, the women of the island are described as wearing sarongs and muumuus.) Most people on these islands make their living diving for Luna Pearls, and selling these precious gems to the mainland in return for supplies and food. [1]

The Islands are made up of many different Islands, most of which remained unnamed. However, notable human characters have come from these Islands, such as Surf and Miki Vann. Additionally, the waters around these Islands are home to Herd Islandar, and their castle can be found off the coast of Awadi Salaca, one of the main, and only named, islands. [2]

Awadi Salaca
Awadi Salaca is a butterfly-shaped island, with a cove cutting into both sides and cliffs along the shoreline. This scenery is occasionally broken up by pink or black sand beaches. Tall solitary rock formations called sea stacks also jut out from the surf.

In the center of the Island are large, lush rainforests where giant flowers grow. In the very heart of the Island is Mount Salaca, an active volcano, in which the two fire horses after which the island was named lived, Awadi and Salaca.

There are two sides to the island with different climates. The windward half of the island gets a lot more rain, while the opposite side is known to be dry. [3]
