Tepetl

Tepetl is a small rocky island in the Phagosian island chain within the Phagosian Sea. It lies north of the island of Cuiciloa, the location of the Huitca Federation's capital of Tlahatl. It lies southeast of the island of Ocotlan and the Escharien colony of Fernheim. The island is characterized by tall jagged rock formations and a small central plateau. On this plateau lies the Huitca Federation's Tepetl Ranch.

The name Tepetl means "Mountain Peaks" in old Huitcan. This comes from having the highest peak in the Phagosian Islands outside of Ocotlan, which on a clear day can be seen from neighboring Fernheim. Geologically, it is an extension of the southern mountains which spread across Ocotlan.

The island historically was the home of Ummarnan natives. It was subjugated by Knossians who founded the old city of Knossos on the island, but were expelled by a possible native uprising. The seceding city-state of Neos Knossos, founded on the north coast of Vastallos, claimed the island as inherited territory but relinquished the claim during the integration of Neos Knossos as a province of Carvay. On December 1, 2020, the island was gifted to the Huitca Federation as a gift from the Doge of Carvay.
