I just wanted to post so I could let you guys know that I think I might've found the island that Bornstellar, Chakas, and Riser went to in Cryptum. You know the ring island with the island in the center? I could be wrong but I think you guys should look at it. I don't remember how long the journey was from the human city, to the island, I think Bornstellar states how long it took them to arrive at the island but I forgot and I don't feel like going back through the book to search for it. The island, in real life, is located in a lake in The Philippines, it's located directly south of Manila. You'll know when you see it. I'm just bringing this up because I think it's pretty cool. Also, somewhere on Halo Nation or the novels I read that there were little humans in Flores, an island pertaining to Indonesia, maybe they left from there? And also Palau. They're all in southeast Asia. It's pretty interesting! :)
