From: Epic of Aerth Addenda, by Gregg Timm. Hawai‘i (pg. 104) These volcanic islands to the west of Vargaard and north of Lemuria have a population of around 200,000 living in a tribal society ruled by a kingship (Kamehameha VI). The priestly caste of medicine men is known as kahunas, and they are strong wielders of mana (heka). The other strata of society are: ali‘i (the nobility), maka‘ainana (the commoners) and kauwa (the outcasts). The islanders subsist mainly upon fish, molluscs, crustaceans, coconuts, bananas, pineapple, taro, and kava. There are rumors of a race of tall wild men known as Nawao dwelling in the more remote areas of the islands that are hostile to outsiders. The most massive volcanoes of exterior Ærth, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, are found on the largest isle of this chain. Several Lemurian states would undoubtedly like to absorb this kingdom into their own (such as Tonuia and Muavinapu), but distance and politics upon the mainland prevent them from devoting any real effort. These folk have a small naval force based upon a type of catamaran.

Thousands of wild cattle roam the isle of Hawai'i. They were introduced, accidentally, by Captain Vancouver, in the year 793.

I think this guy said it bast: Nearby is an interesting ruin—the meager remains of an ancient temple—a place where human sacrifices were offered up in those old bygone days...long, long before the missionaries braved a thousand privations to come and make [the natives] permanently miserable by telling them how beautiful and how blissful a place heaven is, and how nearly impossible it is to get there; and showed the poor native how dreary a place perdition is and what unnecessarily liberal facilities there are for going to it; showed him how, in his ignorance, he had gone and fooled away all his kinsfolk to no purpose; showed him what rapture it is to work all day long for fifty cents to buy food for next day with, as compared with fishing for a pastime and lolling in the shade through eternal summer, and eating of the bounty that nobody labored to provide but Nature. How sad it is to think of the multitudes who have gone to their gaves in this beautiful island and never knew there was a hell. - Roughing It Oh, and here is a gratuitous image of a naked hula dancer:
