Blood Island (not to be confused with the Blood Islands) is an island, in the Western Ocean, near the coast of the Desert of Skulls.[1][2] The island is the base of Lord Carnuss, where he trains captured slaves in his Arena of Death, to fight in his hated brother's Trial of Champions.[1][3][4]
According to one source, Blood Island was once ruled by Carsepolis.[5] A Carsepolitan naval captain, Chalad Dhurang spent almost two years sailing the surrounding waters with his Carsepolis Navy in an attempt to subdue the pirate threat to merchant vessels."[5] He succeeded in wiping out most of the pirates in the area. He built the fort of Port Wintersholm, as a base for his ships, and as a stopover for vessels during the winter months. Carnuss' henchmen later rebuilt much of Port Wintersholm.[5]
Geography[]
According to one source, Blood Island is two large sections of land linked by a narrow land bridge (Devil's Cove) in the centre.[5] The south-western section is called Charavask Western Island.[5] Here are located the fortified village of Port Wintersholm, Lord Carnuss Charavask’s Castle, and the notorious Arena of Death. Nearby is the Chalad River (the only source of fresh water on Blood Island) and the beach of Silent Cove.[5] The north-eastern segment of land is named Dhuran Eastern Island. Here are the Death Hawk Islands, home to a nest of the infamous avians. There are three bays here: Marak Bay, Turtle Bay, and Ebony Beach. The Pirate Straights lie to the north of Dhuran Eastern Island.[5]
