Island of Karpathos

Karpathos, Island of Karpathos is a long, slender island in the Sea of Baal about 20 miles northwest of Rashad in Khemit. Its primary settlement is on the eastern end where there is an excellent bay; the rest of the island has a rocky spine and supports a few villages of farmers and shepherds, which in turn support the Royal Navy’s base there. A few other rocky little islands are grouped around it, each with a tiny population. About 300 feet from the western end of Karpathos is a small island called Mikrin.
When Khemit first established a naval base on Karpathos in the 29th Dynasty, the two were a single island but they split apart during a strong earthquake in the 33rd Dynasty. Now only a few dozen shepherds call the smaller island home, and they strictly avoid the ruined city there. Ancient already when the city of Karpathos was built, the remnants are said to be those of a city of the Sea Peoples, though that doesn’t explain the taboo against it among the local people.
