Secret Isle: an island of Ij, home of the School of Assassins
“Jehane Mor stared up at the timeworn plinth, noting the goddess’s compassionate gaze and the lion’s watchful stare before she bowed her head. The god Seruth, she knew, would stand on the other side of the bridge. In Ij, it was always Imulun who looked toward the city, while Seruth, guardian of journeys, faced the outside world—everywhere, that is, except for the bridges that led to the Assassins’ School. The god Kan, the Dancer in Shadow, always kept watch over both those who entered and those who left the Secret Isle.”
