World Setting

Welcome to the island of Boots Bay! The island is located in the middle of the pristine freshwater of Lake Huron. It was founded and built by French settlers in the year 1666 after a military conflict. It was a military outpost that later converted into a successful trading outpost. The indigenous population and French had trading relations that were very historic and highly regarded! Speaking of history, historians claim the island is named after the arc angel Bootelbub. However, some speculate it was named after the trading post's popular bever pelt boots!

Legend has it that there's a deeply hidden secret about the island's past. Some say they feel like they're being pulled...or...drawn to the island. City marketers jumped on this conspiracy theory and made the Boots Bay city motto "The island that you won't want to leave!"
