History

Islay of Luthien is named after Lúthien Tinúviel, a character in the Lord of the Rings book series. The word itself likely derives from the Old English word for love, lufien.

The Islay of Luthien monument is located on the northeastern side of the island's lake. A weavery, Laurelinens, used to exist on the island, but was dusted in May 2006.

Blockades

Luthien I: 2004-10-2

Though a bloody blockade (the first with three contenders), Luthien was won in eight rounds by Carpe Noctem.

Luthien II: 2005-3-13

In retaliation for simultaneous blockades of Zeta Island (Zeta V) and Endurance Island (Endurance III), Scallywag Syndycate attacked Luthien and Jorvik Island (Jorvik IV) simultaneously (but unsuccessfully). This marked the first time four islands had been blockaded as part of a single conflict. Scallywag Syndycate was an alt flag used by Scallywag Syndicate.
