The island is a memorial left by the dead to those reborn, reincarnated
The spirit prior to us that was trying to get to the Sanctum of Rebirth was being controlled to a degree by the Devourer, Icthlarin restrained the soul.
This leads to our character offering to enter the Sanctum to slay the creatures of the Devourer to ease the burden on Icthlarin.
