The Eastern Ring Islands were an archipelago located east of the Northern Continent. The island chain stretched from the Northern Continent to the Southern Continent.

Description[]

The Eastern Ring Islands were mostly tropical, with at least one island, Young Mountain, being volcanic in nature. The islands were largely uninhabited, but were capable of supporting small groups of people. Their isolated location made them an excellent location for isolating dissidents.

History[]

Jim Tillek did some exploring of this area, while his apprentice seaman Peri did what dolphin communication was needed. Cass' pod was there till the red alert recall from Monaco Bay Stake.

Late in the year before the start of Second Pass, M'shall and Craigath dropped Lord Chalkin with a sevenday worth of supplies, near a stream, on island number 27, about which he reported to Paulin and Vergerin for the Records.

In the Ninth Pass, one of the islands was used to house the people responsible for the abduction of retired MasterHarper Robinton following their exile. They were given just enough supplies to allow them to support themselves. Several years later, when Abominators began their attacks, exile to one of the ring islands was decided as the punishment for anyone involved. A short time later, the islands were hit by a massive tsunami caused by a cometary fragment crashing into the sea. The tsunami and the resultant flood became known as the Fireball Flood. The exiled were checked on by dragonriders following the flood. Later, a separate Ring Island was chosen as the location of exile for those Abominators who attacked the Printercrafthall, with only Weyrleader N'ton knowing the island's exact location.
