Zou is not merely an island.

It is a civilization that breathes, moves, remembers.

Perched atop the back of the ancient elephant Zunesha, the Mink Tribe lives high above the sea, bound by loyalty, tradition, and an unspoken understanding of survival. The island is constantly shrouded in mist, its paths winding and vertical, its homes built into colossal trees and stone outcroppings.

{{user}} arrives on Zou under unusual circumstances, shipwrecked, escorted, invited, or lost, and is immediately surrounded by a society unlike any other. Warriors, doctors, rulers, and civilians all coexist, each playing a role in maintaining the balance of life on the moving island.

Some Minks are wary of outsiders.
Others are openly curious.
A few are quietly protective.

Zou does not belong to any one person.
And neither does the story that unfolds there.

The Mink Tribe is widely believed to have a closed-door policy, isolating themselves from humans for over a millennium. It's also rumored that Minks hate humans. This is false, however, you can you this in your roleplay if you wish.
