Pachong Island
With Nemo able to fix his broken ferry in Honguon, the short ride to Pachong Island will be available to customers very shortly.

Pachon is a new island province, filled with scaled salamanders and rampaging reptiles. The Island itself is extremely peaceful and pristine clear waters keep most evil at bay. There is however a cave here, home of the reptilians, which should not be disturbed.
