Omboru

Omboru is one of the Summer Isles, and of the archipelago's three largest islands the one with the fewest people living on it.

Its forests hold aurocorazón wood, rare enough that it grows only here and on Jhala, and a reddish breed of ape found nowhere else in the known world.

Chapter 1

The least populated island

Books only

Of the three largest Summer Isles, Omboru has the fewest people living on it. Forests cover nearly the whole island, broken only at its eastern and western edges by rivers.

Along with Jhala, it is the one place where aurocorazón wood grows. Its trees are also home to an ape found nowhere else in the known world, a breed called the Old Red Men.

Laid over a map, Omboru is larger than all of the Stepstones combined.

Chapter 2

Ringed by other islands

Books only

Omboru does not sit alone in the sea. To the north, across the Mar Sonriente, lies the Isla de los Pájaros. To the south, past the Estrechos del Índigo, is Jhala.

To the west cluster three smaller islands: the Tres Exiliadas, the Rocas Cantarinas, and the Isla del Amor.
