Emerald Island is a barren scrap of land jutting out from the surrounding sea. There are a few large trees spread sparsely across the area and large rocks that seem to have been left behind from when it was once part of the mainland. The little island gets its name from the sandy shores that are stained green from the amount of copper sulfate that is deposited in the earth. Most of the trees are dead or dying, unable to sustain themselves in the copper-rich soil. Some trees and grasses have strange, bluish hues from the excessive mineral deposits found here.
