Tikarel is a big island in the north of the Uncharted Seas, with a village populated by humans. Some of its closest neighbouring islands are Riptide Reef in the north, the Old Fortress in the east and Sky Island in the south.

Description[]

Map-universal-OH

Due to the rising sea levels, Tikarel is now a village on an island. It features the Adventurer's Guild, a Warehouse, the Red Herring Tavern, an open-air shop and several smaller houses scattered on the hill. Several piers make up a small harbor area. The largest hill on the island is called Humming Hill. According to Neeti Tikarel is full of secrets to discover.[1]

According to Fae, the Direfolk still cause trouble for the villagers every now and then.[2][3] When the days are peaceful and great, however, the air has a fantastic quality and it is possible to even see Sky Island floating in the sky from Tikarel.[4]

Behind Meeto's house is a raised area with a run down house on it. It has been abandoned for decades and incites fantastical stories among the villagers.[5]

History[]

Tikarel emerged from the evacuation camp that was set up a long time ago, to provide shelter to the citizens of the White City during the Catastrophe.[6] Its location was near Lake Tika, named after the mountain behind it, Mound Tika.[7]

The Kid visits Tikarel looking for clues to the whereabouts of the Emblem of Earth and the Withered Lands. He talks to the villagers and introduces himself to Neeti. They are in preparation of the Festival of Sun, an Arcadian tradition that predates even the Catastrophe.[8] He learns that Withered Lands used to be a great forest of the Owrus and that the Emblem of Earth is hidden in the Forest Shrine.[9] With that knowledge, the Kid departs from Tikarel.

Meanwhile, the villagers continue to prepare for the festival. Nobody is allowed to enter Humming Hill, however, as Meeto is busy installing fireworks.[10] On the day of the festival he injures his back[11][12], so when the Kid returns he accompanies Neeti to Humming Hill to help out.[13] The villagers are confused about a dark figure on the hill,[14][15] but as Kid and Neeti approach the mystery is lifted: the Dark Apostle is waiting for the Kid, wanting to teach him a lesson about interfering with Mesmeroth's plans. The Kid, however, is not easily impressed and manages to defeat and get rid of the Dark Apostle.

Kid and Neeti then ignite the fireworks and enjoy the Festival of Sun together, watching the coloful explosions in the sky from Humming Hill. As a thank you gift, Kid receives Meeto's old fishing rod.[16] Neeti hangs around the Kid until he departs to continue his search for the Emblem of Ocean.

Some time later, the Kid visits Tikarel again, in order to find a weather cuckoo for Hermit's strange request. There is a spare one on Meeto's house that the Kid can easily grab and he carries it back to Hermit's Island. Kento certainly won't mind its absence.[17]

The villagers continue with their lives but are happy and ready to talk to the Kid whenever he returns to the island. After Sky Island descends to the ocean, the people of Sky Island come to visit Tikarel,[18] including Grandmaster Ludwig, who can be found at the Red Herring Tavern, talking to Kento.[19]
