	The Isle itself is quiet. According to the remaining justicars, the ghosts adrift in the Bay of Catazar would be trapped here by the white stone pillars if they came too close to the isle. The justicars studied the arts of exorcism and used them to release any ghosts which they [[insight\|identified]] as being human rather than orc, or to deal with any malevolent phantom that escaped the pillars' binding.

	For centuries a reclusive order of Freeborn priests dwelt on the island and dedicated themselves to the task of dealing with the malign presences that came to its shores. The situation changed in Spring 383YE when the Grendel [[383YE_Spring_Equinox_winds_of_war#Spindrift\|conquered the Cazar Straits]].

Fortunately a small group of priests were able to escape with the aid of [[corsair\|corsairs]] from the nearby town of [[Feroz#Shantarim\|Shantarim]]. They brought a worrying tale to the civil service, speaking of ancient white granite pillars that bound the ghosts of pirates and reavers to the Isle. [[Orc]] ghosts. [[Grendel]] ghosts. Ghosts that the people of the [[Bay_of_Catazar#The_Broken_Shore_and_Attar\|Broken Shore]] could press into service to wreak havoc during their conquest of Feroz.
