Ison

Ison is an ancient ruined Ikanian settlement, located roughly 45 miles southwest of Ikana. It was destroyed circa 2993 BG during the Ikanian Civil War.

History
Ison was one of the first settlements founded by the Ikanians as they migrated into Hyrule from the south. It was located in the Ison Valley along the long dead Ison River, which flowed east into the Sea of Storms, In 2993 BG, Ikana suffered the sudden onset a three-day Civil War and was utterly destroyed, leaving behind only ruins and corpses. With its inhabitants struck dead, Ison was abandoned and the surrounding region was rendered into a lifeless, ashen wasteland. The Ison River was rendered poisonous and eventually dried up. The valley is sometimes visited by Ordonian Rangers and other explorers, who collect the horns from the Ison Beetle, an insect that has endured the wasteland, for use as musical instruments. Additionally, Ordonian Rangers often recover the cursed blue metal of ancient Ikanian weapons to use for their deadly crossbow tips.
