Little is known about the island except that it harbors some strange, dark secrets. Even the most hardened pirates do well to avoid the wretched island despite the riches that lie within.

Western Serentia:

The Forest Of Deceit: This is the place The Deceitful Shadow,
Rin calls home and has lived there for over two thousand years. The Forest of Deceit gets its name from the deceitful shadow demon that lives within the forest. It has a unique structure and design. It is home to the legendary Lake of Eternia. A single sip from this lake can cure diseases, heal injuries, clear one's mind, and grant one immortality. The Deceitful Shadow guards over the lake rather fiercely for three reasons. One reason is that the lake is responsible for keeping the forest thriving. The pure, special water in the lake keeps the trees lush and green. The flowers and grass thrive in the forest, the fruits that grow in the area are among the juiciest and sweetest you'll find anywhere; or at least that's what Rin will tell you. The lake is also what keeps Rin alive and healthy, without it Rin would die a rather slow death. Lastly, according to Rin; immortality is more of a curse rather than a blessing. He often tells those who enter this; "Watching the world grow old while you sit there essentially imprisoned in a never changing body gets dull. Who would want to see their loved ones grow old and die while you remain on your body is frozen in a never ending cycle? Immortality isn't what it's made out to be."

Those who drink the lake water are said to be forever connected with the lake and its forest. If the lake is drained of the water, the ones who have taken sips will also perish. If the water is separated from the lake, it must be consumed within an hour of its separation, otherwise it'll become useless. In the center of the lake is a large, flat rock in which Rin sits as he awaits someone who can outlast him. The lake and the forest are connected to one another like a single living organism, the people that drink the water are also connected to the forest. If the forest experiences some pain, so will those who have drank the water. If a tree is cut, the people who have drank the water will feel as those they've been cut by an unseen force.

In addition to the lush plants and fruit, there is a small cave that Rin keeps various things he's stolen from the foolish humans that dared to wander in his abode. Some items include old broadswords from the 1400s, Native American headdresses from the 250 BC, and even cellphones from 2015. One of his most prized possessions is a golden necklace with a blood red ruby pendant.
