Diggen's Point is an island in the Emerald Sea on Lumar. It is located near to the Verdant Lunagree.[1]
Geography
Diggen's Point is an island made up almost exclusively of black saltstone, in the shape of an old man's crooked finger. The island appears to reach from below the ocean, to point towards the horizon. The island is home to a small town, and a mansion for the duke to reside within. Below the surface there is a deep aquifer, which is one of the primary methods of getting water as the black saltstone is crumbly and gets into everything. No agriculture exists on the island, and food has to come from compost vats or be traded for.[1]
History
A fellow called Diggen discovered the 'Rock' as the locals called it, and named it Diggen's Island, a name used primarily by everyone other than the locals. He left the island soon after naming it and never returned.[1]
Some point prior to the Sorceress' defeat, the King put in place a policy at some point to make it illegal for any citizen of Diggen's Point to leave the island.[1]
After the Sorceress' defeat by Tress and the crew of the Crow's Song, the King issued a new writ, allowing the citizens of Diggen's Point to be allowed to leave. An incentive to get people to want to go to, and stay at the Rock was put in place to ensure that everyone did not just leave. A generous payout would be given to anyone who stayed and worked for twenty-years.[2]
