Thordentor

Thordentor was one of the largest islands by landmass in the Nelanther Isles. It was the southernmost major island in the chain and has many large bays suitable for landing ships. White sand beaches line the entire coast. The inner island only grows low shrubs and bushes and there are virtually no trees growing on the large island.

Rumors & Legends
The pirates from the area and most Tethyrians superstitiously avoid this island. Each year, anywhere from 5-30 whales beach themselves and die on the eastern and southern shores of the island. Records of these beaching events go back as far as the end of the Shoon Empire. For this reason, the dwarves of the region gave the island its name, "Thordentor", “hill of bones” as the beaches are often covered by the bleached bones of dead whales.

Notable Locations
The only widely known inhabited settlement on the island is a Tehyrian outpost on the western bay. The outpost is built in the ruins of an old Shoon-era signal tower, that overlooks the expanding naval dockyards. Approximately 50 Tethyrian naval guards are stationed here at any given time.

A major stronghold of the Twisted Rune was present in the caverns below the surface of the island. It was their magical experiments that caused the beaching of the whales each year. The Rune members would find uses for the dead creatures, animating some of the smaller whales as skeletal guardians to protect the undersea tunnel entrances.
