Skull Island

The Skull Island is one of the Basilisk Isles, an island chain off the north coast of Sothoryos infested with vile pirate-dens.

It is a small, rocky, wind-swept island, and totally uninhabited, even by pirates from the surrounding islands. The island is so-named because the pirates of the Basilisks have taken to dumping the severed heads of their victims on its shores, which rot away into large piles of sun-bleached skulls.
