Because I am the lazy

It occurred to me that Santa Catarina Island and the coast adjacent would make an interesting map for a secondary world fantasy ttrpg. It's a mountainous region of Brazil, so lots of varied terrain, and not somewhere the people with whom I game would be familiar.

What I forgot in the half-century since I lived there is its nickname: "Ilha da Magia." Magic Island. Hmmm.

Escaped nun ?!?
Details please, if it wouldn’t be too intrusive on your mom’s privacy

Her father was dead at that time so she and her sister got stuck in a convent. My aunt liked it, but Lorna didn't. She vanished from Nova Scotia and reappeared in Boston. How she managed that is something that didn't make it into family lore.

My headcanon has your mom becoming the inspiration for The Flying Nun, despite giving up the habit for the love of an engineer.

"Giving up the habit." Heh.

You obviously never mention the underground railroad. Other nuns might need it in the future.
