Island Sanctuary
East Tenne: Island Sanctuary
The Royal Quarter, home of the magnificent Wirtyplace, also contains many government buildings, prominent businesses and some special places. The district comprises of the south bank of the mouth of the Wirdle River as well as two islands within the very narrow delta. The smaller, easternmost island is Robin Island, a private sanctuary for the Supreme Wirdle. It is connected to the palace complex by a bridge to the south and to the north bank by another bridge. The island is given over mainly to an elm grove and walking trails. There is also a small chapel on the site to allow for reflection and mediation. The island is one of her favorite spots and it reminds her of her birthplace across the sea in Wirt. Not only are there some nice climbing trees but there are also plenty of pounceables waiting to be caught.
The chapel sits in the center of the island. The only other built items on the island would be a pair of Babalonia style obelisks flanking the bridge to the palatial Wirtyplace complex.
The Supreme Wirdle can go to the rocky shore to look for fish. But she does not like getting her paws wet, so she more often just sits on the rock to enjoy the sun.
Climbing the big rocks can give some fabulous vistas of her capital
The southern bridge is flanked by these obelisks
It is a very natural place, just the way she likes it

Not quite the precision gardens one would expect at a palace. But then again, the Supreme Wirdle is an outdoorsy kinda gal…
The ceiling in the chapel was expertly frescoed by the renowned painter Meowcelangelo. Perhaps you have heard of him?
Significant boat traffic passes by the island daily, as ferries, ships and fishing vessels ply the Wirdle River and the Tenne Sea coast
