There was a massive island with lush forests and fertile farmlands. It could easily swallow the continent of Indelia in its size but it was one of the medium islands only. It had many bridges and teleportation formations built into it, but it was dominated by a single sect.
At the center of the island was a massive complex built over rich veins of Qi for all 6 elements. Dark stone walls towered over all and could be seen almost to the edge of the island. They were the first and only relevant landmark.
It was the shield wall of the Sword Breaker Sect.
Massive gates were guarded by tier 1 Sky Realms but World Realms did much of the guard duty just inside. They let the flow of goods and people visiting get in and out efficiently. Bribes were not discouraged but they had a limit before they had to be turned in to superiors.
The outer disciples could not out do their betters after all.
