+ | Unlike the wild Pantheon, the Eelakin Islands have been "tamed". The Eelakin Islands lack the dangerous predators and plant life of the Pantheon. However, [[Vathi]] is able to immediately identify [[Sak]] as a mainlander bird, likely indicating that the Eelakin Islands and the Pantheon once had similar ecosystems, and that some species may still live in both island chains.{{book ref|sixth}} |

Homeislers and trappers are both ethnically Eelakin, but have numerous misconceptions about each other; Dusk feels like an outsider when he visits the homeisles, and he does not understand their social conventions. Homeislers no longer use "traditional" names that refer to the day and order of birth, instead using names that originated on the mainland. Homeislers have become increasingly educated, and Dusk believes that they have lost their reverence for Aviar.{{book ref|sixth}} |

⚫ | In recent years, the Eelakin Islands have had increasing contact with the mainland, and several large companies such as the [[Northern Interests Trading Company]] are actively attempting to find and capture more Aviar in the Pantheon in order to satisfy mainlander demand. This process has been accelerated by technology gained through Eelakin contact with the spacefaring [[Ones Above]].{{book ref|sixth}} |
