	'''A number of farms have sprung up near Elaine''', the soil turned out to be quite good for agriculture.

There are a number of dedicated fishing vessels as well, some stolen in daring raids on port cities.

	There are '''no less than three distilleries''' that all produce a hard liquor called LeChuck. It is made of bananas which grow all over the island, a few enterprising individuals have even started to cultivate them.

	'''The tallest mountain on the island, called Big Whoop''' by the inhabitants, long held a secret.

'''All four faces are of the same design'''; quite round but still resembling a human, wearing a feathered headdress. They have wide open eyes and a closed mouth. Their ears are large, each pierced with some kind of rhombus shaped piece of jewelry with a scale motif. Interestingly, the face carvings aren't placed exactly equidistant around the mountain and not a single one looks directly towards a compass cardinal direction.
