Terramort Isle was a vermin island stronghold located in the far northwestern sea, and the home of Gabool the Wild and his corsairs. It was also the location of Fort Bladegirt. A particularly unique feature of the island was the fact that it was crisscrossed by hundreds of tunnels, a characteristic utilized by the Trag. It was presumably abandoned after the defeat of Gabool and his sea rat army, with Bladegirt gutted by Trag and Rawnblade Widestripe.
Trivia[]
- Terramort was referred to in a poem as the 'Land of Death', which is the literal translation from the Latin "terra" meaning land, and "mortis", meaning death. The word "Terramort" is a portmanteau of the two Latin words.
- At the beginning of Salamandastron, one can observe the lower half of Terramort (with its apparent lack of Fort Bladegirt) at the top left corner of the map.
