Welcome to the mythical Port of Monopsis, an ancient shipyard owned and operated by a Cyclops and a small working crew that has chosen to stay on with him after being rescued at sea. I've included an illustrated scene by Clark Ocleasa to help set the stage.
What is this place?
Located along the southeastern shores of a massive and mysterious island lay the stone ruins of an old dock, which has been claimed by a massive Cyclops named Monopsis. The Cyclops was part of a warlike and crude tribe located deep in the heart of the island, but his curiosity was peaked when he noticed the remnants of a ship washed up on the shore.
Study of the ship and its design soon became his only focus, much to the frustration of his tribe mates, and he was eventually forced to flee, when he would not abandon his infatuation with the study of these foreign ships. He wandered the island until he found the remnants of what appeared to be an ancient stone dock and decided to claim the land for himself and build his first boat.
The location is now known as the Port of Monopsis, and he has taken to patrol the island shoreline and neighboring seas for signs of shipwrecks or those in need. Some, who have heard of the legend of Monopsis occasionally make the journey to his port, to trade goods, information and sometimes seek the natural treasures of the island.
How can you use it?
This would be a great location for your party to awake should they ever find themselves lost at sea, thrown overboard, defeated by a monster or even captured by pirates (who deposit them here en route to some other location).
It would give you a new starting point, and a fun character to introduce the party to, who just so happens to have a boat they could use to get back home, if only they will do him a simple service of bringing him something from deeper in the island where he no longer wishes to travel. ;)
