The Ravenous Isle in the Ruined Sea was the place where Endral found dangers unknown to the world at this point. The strip of land facing Uelos' Lament Ocean was like Endralliande, peaceful and lacking any threats, but beyond the Cliffs of Ruin, he found that where there was tranquility in Endralliande, the environment on the Ravenous Isle was deadly to both man and beast. There were, and still are, massive, carnivorous plants, that are large enough to snare a horse. There are many types of these plants, from 'pitfall' traps that people fall into, and it closes up behind them, to thorn-coated vines that ensnare and kill their victims. Due to Ruinborn bones being found in the deepest part of the Isle, it's theorized that a small population of Ruinborn or degenerate elf survived on the isle, until the plants overwhelmed them. This would explain how the plants managed to reach such scales, as the native fauna when Endral arrived had nothing larger than a monkey.
