Rune Pike, or
Rhûn Ravan in elvish, is a large island in the
Leviathan Sea. It is a known landmark on the route between
Port Surene and
Porgorag, and is also a resource gathering site for the
Tortles of nearby
Chelonia.
Description
Rune Pike is a large, craggy island covered in dense green plant growth. It rises out of the sea taller than most sailing vessels. The ocean water visibly lightens around it due to the presence of shallow sandbars and reefs surrounding the island.
There is a flock of harpies that prey on vessels that approach the island, and reef sharks that patrol the shallow reefs and sandbars.
History
The elven sailors that navigated the
Leviathan Sea in the Second and Third Ages called this place
Rhûn Ravan, "East Point" in elvish, as it is the easternmost part of the
Seaward Isles. This name would eventually become "Rune Pike" in common.
Fifth Age: The Age of Beginnings
On 29 Madaet 5A 352, the
Provideniye sailed around Rune Pike and came upon the
Testudo under attack by harpies. The Provideniye moved to engage and the crews of the two ships fended off the attack before continuing on.
