Xar'Naar Island.

Xar'Naar Island
A gigantic island surrounded by a vast ocean. The central part is occupied by freshwater lakes and dense swamps. Wide rivers flow through the island, emptying into the sea. Cliffs rise in the south, mangrove forests spread out to the east, and the north is covered in humid jungle.
There are eight independent tribes living on the island:
Varan Tribe - Stone Guardians.
The Crocodile Tribe - River Lords.
The Marine Iguana Tribe - Children of the Tide.
Anaconda Tribe - Shadows of the Swamps.
The Turtle Tribe are the Guardians of the Lakes.
The Frog Tribe - Green Jumpers.
Shark Tribe - Sea Hunters.
Komodo dragon tribe - Ash Fangs.

All eight tribes form a delicate balance. No one can completely conquer the island: crocodiles rule the rivers, anacondas the swamps, marine iguanas and sharks the coast and ocean, Komodo dragons hold volcanic lands, monitor lizards control the mountain passes, frogs hide in mangrove forests, and turtles preserve knowledge and often act as mediators. Any war between two tribes almost inevitably draws in the others, which is why the island has lived in a state of constant, yet constantly shifting, conflict for generations.

But these are only the main tribes, the largest of them. There are also many smaller tribes that also live on this island. Some are secluded and hide in different corners of the island, while others live close to the main tribes and sometimes ask for protection in exchange for resources.

Xar'Naar Island is an island hidden from the world, in the heart of the Bermuda Triangle. Only anthropomorphic animals live here, forming tribes. There's little iron here, or rather, almost none. Mostly, there's stone, salt, trees, leaves, grasses, various mushrooms, and flowers. All the tribes here are Stone Age in development, lacking complex structures and intricate tools. Everyone relies on stone tools and primitive armor. However, most often, most have natural weapons and protection, provided by nature.
