Blue: South Name: Hot Spring Island Bank: B Warehouse:B Major: Yes Benefactor: White Lips & Hazel Hands Turf:Crimson Pool, Bathing House, and Lulu's Manor Components:Lips, Hands, Minks, Fishman/Merfolk, and Dwarfs Environments: Hot Spring - Forest - Mountain Size: Medium Inhabited: Yes or No Description: There is only one City built around a massive tree which most of the wildlife lives around and in. In the past it was the Briss Kingdom's Military base, but has had improvements over the years. The town starts at the east coast of the Island and stretches deep into the Island. This City makes up half the Island. A massive rope has been tied around the tree in honor and support of Moto. Those arriving to the Island arrive to Lulu's Manor, the name of the City. The Wano and Kuja aesthetic being a direct inspiration from Moto and Lulu's upbringing. During the night(except during events) it looks vacant with few patrols; but during the day is lively and congested. Waters from the other parts of the Island are pumped into the town through the man-made river. As it is filtered as not all Water on the Island is safe to bathe in or drink. This water is also used to help nursing the Tree that is the pride of the Island. It stretching even higher into the sky than the tree on Ohara.
The Earth was smoothed for a few miles outside of the City walls before the start of the Forest. The Forest rests at the base of the Mountain of Calypso. Wild and untamed most plant life is considered dangerous, and not edible. The Plague Rains had caused the flowers to all take the appearance of Violet. It does nothing but cause hallucinations and dehydration if consumed. As the waters outside of the Island are toxic and lethal after too much is taken in. That is why the water pumped into the City is filtered and treated. That is why Fishman/Merfolk of special breeds are used to manage the raised pipe line from the Mountain of Calypso to Lulu Manor.
As although the island is littered with natural springs the clean ones are small and very rare, and can only be found by going on a journey through the forest and up the Mountain. Sprouting from the side of the mountain at regular intervals are small platforms that hold water. These platforms overflow, filling the next in line, and ultimately create a waterfalling hot spring against the side of the large mountain. Paths of gravel have been placed that lead from Lulu's Manor to the safe ones. As the main pool sits on the top of the Mountain, and due to the red color was given the name Crimson Pool. Despite the location known it is extremely dangerous to get there. As flowers sprout on the Mountain more than anywhere else on the Island, but are white. The pollen they release has been made into a aphrodisiac to Minks, but too much of it makes them feral. And Minks that went to the Crimson pool now guard the path on the Mountain due to that.
Encyclopedia: Lore: Many have come to this Island throughout it's History, but Lulu White has created into what it is today. Majority of the Island has many Hot Springs scattered about. Warm waters mixed with fresh and salt water. The ones safe to use have had paths of gravel created that lead to them. But primary everyone stays in the confines of the Bathing House and Lulu's Manor, which is the largest Brothel in the South. It is a place of healing and a place to relax, nothing more to the public eyes. However,the hidden hands running the major trade through the Island. The Hazel Hands are the only ones that have methods to harvest the flowers on the Mountain.
It is illegal on the Island to leave the City and rumors of those leaving and going made have allowed for very few to do so. Not only do they say there are feral minks but also a wandering Tengu that commands the rain. Those deep in the underworld known that most rumors are used to protect the exports of the Island rather than keep anyone safe. As just like other Island this Island is just as lawless. Marines and Samurai that do arrive are quickly swallowed up by the White Lips and spit our as Arms of the Island.
