The second island in the southwest is named Karatikus. It has semi-private residential character. As long as you dont see any banlines, it is open to public. It has a little beach and some rocks in the backyard. A small fall creates a stream that heads for the ocean. An old ferry stopping randomly at the little dock connects the island with the abbey. (7S) Fishing can be done here, also scuba diving is possible. A free dispenser can be found at the dockingplace of the Abbey Island.. A deserted naval surveillance installation is now used as residential / hangout spot. | The second island in the southwest is named Karatikus. It has semi-private residential character.

Larsson Business Park
The main island carries a restoration site of an old, lutheran abbey ruin, where the LLA Lauritz Larsson Architecture Bureau has its headquarters (Larsson Business Park) now - that is where the New PrideLand continent architects of LLA show some of their buyable creations.
The abbey was founded ages ago as a lutheran monkhouse on an artificial island. Originally surrounded by huge defense walls against pirates and other enemies, the huge outer walls are dismantled now, only a part of the smaller inner walls remained, also most of the vegetable gardens and adjoining buildings are gone. The Scriptorium was still intact, while the Refectory is to be restored. The Dormitory and barns will not be restored. Some decent green, fountains and plant beds can be found here nowadays. Walkways lead the visitor around the place. Public fishing can be done around there to, also a small dock allows to park boats here temporarily. A free scuba wear dispenser can be found at the dock to explore the underwater area. The whole island is carefully designed to appear rather as a relaxation spot than being a simple vendor site.
Plant- and Treebeds in the south of the island
Shrubs replacing the missing walls in the south
The old vegetable garden in front of the scriptorium
Derelict graveyard with aged fountain and maritime pines
Lonely cattle on yet unused bed
A fountain feature distracts the visitors staying there for a few
Karatikus
The second island in the southwest is named Karatikus. It has semi-private residential character. As long as you dont see any banlines, it is open to public. It has a little beach and some rocks in the backyard. A small fall creates a stream that heads for the ocean. An old ferry stopping randomly at the little dock connects the island with the abbey. (7S) Fishing can be done here, also scuba diving is possible. A free dispenser can be found at the dockingplace of the Abbey Island.. A deserted naval surveillance installation is now used as residential / hangout spot.
Hephaestus
The last island, located in the northeast is named Hephaestus. Some relicts from old wars can be found here. A foghorn warns the ships to come close... old ammo and mines might be still active and dangerous... a shipwreck in the southeast is the result of too carefree captain... bad luck for him.
