Usi'nead

Usi'nead is the sacred lake of the Leanaí Iscia located past the Farraige a Rugadh Hills in the Earldom of Iscia's Cove of the Fallow Crest.

The lake is believed to be the resting place of the serpent goddess Iscia, whom ends and renews her lifecycles in the lake, guarded by the Keepers of the Leanaí Iscia. Once strong enough the serpent returns to depth of the sea of the Ashwake gulf and rests in the cove of the Earldom until the end of her lifespan, when she returns to the lake.

The Galuyn Wavewalkers believe that Iscia's Cove and Usi'nead are the area's Iscia brought their ancient ancestors after she was injured in battle to recover and was the location she taught the galuyn to sail. Seen as one of the most sacred places of the Galuyn that worship the sea, the men and women connected to the heritage and the land fight fearlessly against any whom would encroach upon the land.

Usi'nead became increasingly under attack by the Fallow Crest nobility and Dullahan clans who tried to get

their hands on the ancient power of the wild god.

After unifying the wavewalker remnants and bringing peaceful relations between the earldom and the galuyn under Aleyina Nathair the galuyn were successful in pushing the nobility and enemy clans past Galecrest, securing the Hills for themselves and their worship without having to worry about the sacred lake.

The Keepers of the Leanaí Iscia are tasked with the upkeep and close relation to Iscia and Usi'nead, when Iscia was prepared to aid in the rescue of her mother the ancient wild god Gurnye, the keepers were the ones that guided Iscia beside their currachs, making sure she could make it to her mother and heal her in time.

The island at the center, Drao'leán, holds a large stoned gate overgrown by trees. The Leanaí Iscia and it's keepers are not sure what the structure is, though believe it was build by their ancestors.
