Waipuku

Waipuku is a large continent to the south east of Umarald and the ancient home of the orcs and the waipuku people.

Description
The land of Waipuku is truly vast and only a small portion surrounding what is known as Bapu Reef has been explored in the early Age of Knowledge. The land is mostly jungle with several large rivers stretching inland and the weather is hot and humid. Seasonally great storms form east of the South Sea and make their way to Waipuku. At such times it is best to moor a ship well – or better still sail somewhere else before the storm arrive.

Most explorers in the Age of Knowledge have only seen the land from a ship and never actually set foot on its soil so no one knows what kind of strange creatures might dwell inland. The local people, who treat visitors with suspicion, have told many interesting stories but gothic scientists wish to see such things with their own eyes before they believe it.
