An ancient island-nation, now considered a lost civilization, off the southern coast of the continent of Ur, and believed to be mostly covered by a Forbidden Zone (one which some scholars have theorized may have actually expanded to cover the entirety of this large island). Little is known for sure about the Aeztepans, although obscure legends and more recent research indicate that they were a race of spotted felines, bearing some superficial resemblance to Terran creatures known as "jaguars". The language persists in scholarly circles only in its written, hieroglyphic form. However, "secrets of Aeztepa" are often invoked in mystical and less-reputable magical circles, as it is often believed that these ancient peoples held some sort of great secrets ... though those same secrets supposedly turned their land into what it is now known as the Land of the Dead. The whole island is considered quarantine under authority of both Rephidim and of Babel, and travellers give it a wide berth, especially since freak storms have a tendency to pop up in the area.
