History

Blackthorpe Island was originally located on the Sage Ocean. In the eastern side of the rock outcropping in the center, an inscription reads, "This island were fashioned by Artemis."

Jack's Last Brig was purchased by Jjwillis and dusted in November, 2006 to make room for Black Treasure Shacks.

Civil Wrights was purchased by Jjwillis and dusted in December, 2006 to make room for an iron monger shoppe called The Blacksmith.

Marine Brig's dusted in December, 2006 to make room for a tailor Bazaar called Black Leather and Lace.

For a brief time during the testing of the Emerald Ocean, Blackthorpe island was captured in a mock blockade, and used to test several game mechanics.
