Paradis Island

"King Fritz was left only with the island of Paradis, where he built three concentric Walls in which he and his people took refuge."

- Mr. Yeager teaching his son the history of Eldia

Paradis (パラディ) is a massive island on which the three Walls are located. It is just off the coast of Marley and is surrounded by the ocean. Paradis became the Eldia's last territory after the Great Titan War, containing the fallen empire's capital. Marley uses the island as a dumping ground for its Eldian prisoners, turning them into Titans using the Titan injection.

History
Late into the history of the Eldian Empire, Karl Fritz, the 145th monarch of the Fritz family, chose to abandon the conflict over the Nine Titans between the subservient Eldian families on the continental mainland and moved the capital of Eldia to Paradis, a remote island at the time. In the King's absence, the Great Titan War began. As Eldia lost more and more territory to the Marleyans, the minority bloodlines of the empire, the King gathered as many Eldians and members of the royal family as was possible before raising three Walls around their last piece of undisputed territory in the year 743. Sometime after the raising of the Walls, the new Marley government built a 30-meter border Wall along the southern shore of the island to prevent the Titans from escaping to the ocean. To deal with Eldian prisoners, Marley sends them to the island and turn them into Titans to wander outside the Walls for eternity.

Geography and Climate
The island of Paradis appears to have a temperate climate, with the northern regions of the land being especially cold, rarely exceeding on the hottest summer days. However, the coldness of the northern regions of the island are alleviated by the occasional presence of hot springs. While it is unknown what area of Paradis the Walls raised by the First King stand on, it is evident that the central region of the Walls is at a higher elevation than the outermost territories. Some regions of the land are home to Titan Forests, where the trees are known to reach as high as, possibly due to the unique content of the soil. The island of Paradis is also rich with various minerals and natural resources, which made the land a valuable target for the people of Marley over eighty years after the end of the Great Titan War.

Demographics
Paradis hosts the Eldian refugees from the Great Titan War. Most of these Eldians are Subjects of Ymir, although those who are not live as nobles, except for the Ackermans and the Asians.
