Lunaire, I like your whole character. You've given me loads to work with. I appreciate your effort. 
Currently I'm still debating what specifically the artifact would be. Considering there is no other evidence of anyone ever going to or from the utopia, our selection will could give a lot of insight on the origin of the place itself. I've got a couple ideas for how the island came to be, but it's all in the works. 

Estylwen, I thought about having you change your character to an islander, but I'm going to work with what you've got. The magical item has to go, however. The only one who has special access to the island would be Lunaire's character. She opened the door for all others to enter, including the world government, though not intentionally. 

ERode, take your time! My statement with starting this project was that it would take awhile, a slow pace, so there's really no pressure. I do reserve the right to move this thing along as I feel appropriate, however. Keep that in mind, should you take more than a couple weeks to participate. 

(On a side note, I'm thinking of adding one other person, maybe just as a cameo from my past of Rping, to this. If only for one or two posts after we get started. I haven't done anything with them in awhile and the idea came to me during lunch the other day. If there are no objections I may ask her if she wants to write a stand-alone post just to add some substance.)
