The Oarbreaker Isles
A map of The Oarbreaker Isles.

The Oarbreaker Isles is a map consisting of an archipelago of islands and peninsulas. In addition to land warfare, players are also expected to heavily rely on naval combat and amphibious landings in order to dominate the map.

Description

Oarbreaker is located on the west side of the world map. Ir forms a counter part to Tempest Island with concentrated industry on the main island and the neighbouring peninsula. The placements of the islands creates chokepoints in the water for the small internal sea in Stonecradle as well as access from the North to the large sea between the isles and mainland.

The largest island in the archipelago is home to the region's victory point, Skelter Course.

Curiously, the small town of The Ides on the north-eastern border of the map is the only town in the game missing a Safehouse and Emplacement House.

Update History

The map was added in Update 0.14.

In Update 0.26 the map was changed into a hexagon; some parts were modified to join the main-land, as to ease access and allow border travel.

In Update 0.37 the map was rearranged to allow all major locations to be accessed by land routes.

Hollow Book

Hollow Book

At first glance, it appears to be a simple book. As you shift it between your hands, you feel something clanking around inside.

You tap the cover;It’s hollow.

Inside you find a hole carved out between the pages, revealing a generous amount of dried jerky bound with cedar twine. It smells delicious, but you know it’s worth too much to consume. Though your hunger might betray you.

It’s been ages since you’ve smelled decent meat.

Mouldy Old Journal

Mouldy Old Journal

You find part of a very old, mouldy journal. You casually flip through and stop on a random page.

The locals have told me a tall tale of a man they will only refer to as the ‘Dullahan.’ They say he’s some spirit or other who wanders the sea with flames where his head should be, beaming like a lantern.

Some say he rides on horseback, a blood red mare with its head flayed, exposing polished bone. Apparently, his ship, The Burgundi, was stranded in the north filled with cavalrymen and a cargo hold filled with horses and other livestock...

Letter About the Lighthouse

Letter About the Lighthouse

A letter between Colonial remote operations leaders.

There’s this crusty old captain in the lighthouse, anytime we get near he lets loose with a shotgun. I’ve lost three men, but honestly, he’s got it held pretty well. The lads are building a pyre. We’re going to try smoking him out.

We need that lighthouse for our ships coming to port from Katoma, they don’t call these islands the Oar Breakers for nothing. If you could send a couple more hands our way, I’d appreciate it.
