Quite a few miles away from Gambino Island, surrounded by a large barrier reef, there exists a large crag of rock with a small peninsula beach only a few hundred feet long to one side of it. Close up it seems to look like a temple of sorts with an opening at the base and a large window up near the top of the few hundred foot high outcrop.
This is the Leviathan Temple on Leviathan Island. This island is a sacred place used to protect and honour the leviathans that dwell in and around the island. The beach is white with very fine sand and a few shells scattered here and there as well as some rocks. The closer the beach gets to the opening, the larger and more frequent the rocks become. At the base of the outcropping where the entrance is there is a large arch flanked by four obelisks. All around the obelisks and around the arch are carvings in an indestiquishable language.
Once inside the large archway, one is met with a beautiful, flowing hall. The walls, archways, threshholds and pillars inside are smooth and seem as if they were carved straight from the rock the temple is inside. All of the architecture inside is somewhat rounded and fluid as if water is part of the stone as well. A red carpet runs down the middle of the hall to a grand staircase that leads to the next floor. Following down the red carpet on both sides are very articulate pillars that have beautiful designs and symbols carved around them. Along the walls are four doors, two on each wall that lead to hidden parts of the temple.
Up the grand staircase is the second floor: The "hospital" and guest rooms. There are ten rooms in all, each the size of a nice hotel suite. Each has a nice bathroom with running hot water. The beds are all queen sized and are lavishly soft. The hospitol, which is more of an infirmary, is fully stocked with medication, sterilized needles and anything else a doctor may need.
Up to the next floor is the dining room. There are two twenty foot long tables, both with two triple candlestick holders on them. The tables are mohogany wood covoured by a silk table cloth. Next to the dining room, seperated only by a couple pillars, is the massive ballroom. A large, extravagant chandelire hangs from the ceiling and casts a soft, romantic glow on the walls and floor. On the other side of the dining room, connected by a simple swinging wooden door is a kitchen with all the necessary cooking utensils, appliances, and enough food stocks to last over 5 years.
The forth floor is a gigantic library willed with literally millions of books. The dozens and dozens of ten-foot tall isles each have a rolling ladder to get access to the books which come in all sizes and languages. Many of the books seem to be written in the same language as is written on the temple entrance. Hidden within the maze of isles is a simple wooden staircase that leads to the last floor.
Once at the top of the wooden staircase, there is a simple hallway. Along the right wall is two wooden doors, another on the left wall, and at the far end of the hall is a set of very intracately carved wooden double-doors. Upon entering the double doors, one is greeted with a large dome and the soft feel of the sea breeze upon their skin. There is a large bed in the middle with a small, simple desk off to the left side. Upon the desk is a pen, some paper, a few books, and a crystal box. On the left wall is a average looking dresser with three drawers, obviously for holding clothes. There are two doors along the left wall. One seems to go to a closet, but the other is unknown. One wall is almost completely gone, replaced by an opening that serves as a window. The gentle sounds of the sea, as well as the sea breeze waifts in through this opening and one can see almost to Gambino Island from it. From atop this dome, one can also see the surrounding coral reef and sometiems leviathans as they swim about under the water.
This island's main purpose is to offer leviathans safe haven from poachers and sensless killers. If any harsh being were to come here, they would not hesitate to attack them, and Enki Leviathan guards the entire island and the elegant creatures with his life.
This island has many protectors who have promised to guard it and keep it safe. The mighty leviathans are the main protectors of this offshore haven.
Enki Leviathan
Length:10-50 feet, depending on the species
Alignment: Chaotic Nuetral
These creatures live in the secluded depths and have had many tales and myths told about them. To sailors, they are told to have caused almost every shipwreck that every happened. The curly sea-monster drawn on old globes and maps is the Leviathan. In Judeo-Catholicism, the Leviathan wreaked havoc and chaos and almost had as much power as God himself... so God had to kill it. "Job 3:8 - Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to rouse Leviathan;" There are also similar stories in Hinduism and Norse mythology.
In reality, Leviathans are very intelligent and kind, as well as aquatically agile and very beautiful creatures. They will never attack another animal unless it feels threatened or it needs food. Leviathans are also very cautious creatures, shunning away from others species of animals. After watching over them for centuries, their numbers have slowly gone back up, and now I am offering people of Gaia to breed and care for these wonderful creatures.

Along with the Leviathans is an extremely rare FumaKawa Felldrake.
Amon Larethian
Length: aprox 12 ft
Alignment: neutral
The FumaKawa is, as his name implies, a river spirit. Equally at home in water and air, he is a reclusive creature, spending more time in the elemental planes than the material. This felldrake has two breath weapons, a wave of water and a line of electricity.

There is also an Aquatic Felldrake guarding over the island. Despite Aquatic Felldrakes natural shunning from Leviathans, this one seems to get along just fine with the creatures.
Amon Larethian
Size: aprox 6 ft
Alignment: neutral
The only species of Felldrake that is native to the water. Although it can breath air, it rares rises from the surface, prefering to remain in the secluded depths. For this reason they are rarely seen by surface dwellers, although it is a common appearance around the dwellings of the aquatic elves, with which this dragon has a peaceful and beneficial co-existance.
This felldrake's breath weapon is a jet of electrically charged water that not only damages but paralyzes the target. Although the dragon is no pushover, it has learned from experience to avoid leviathans, giants, and large dragons (especially those of the evil allignment.)
