This is what the text on the map says…
“Ruli Island is located in the entrance of the only open bay of the continent surrounded by the mountains.
The place is gathered by wealth and power because of the linchpin of traffic and defense of the empire behind it.
A huge battery is enshrined, skilled knights and reckless mercenary soldiers prepare for the enemy’s invasion.
At the wealthy town of Ruli’s, the coquettish(?) voice is like intoxicated from the transient(?) party wraps around everything, despite the ground of entire empire being covered by corruption, while the neighboring castle is filled by a weird ghostly air with an eerie magical power.
Tonight as well, an evil spirit is lurking nearby, like it may be attracted to Ruli’s strange power.”
