+ | The Sorceress' Island is a small island located in the Midnight Sea. It is largely uninhabited bar the Sorceress herself and her metal soldiers that form her army. Even plant life is rare on the island as it is populated by only a few lone trees, none of which have many leaves upon them. Upon seeing the island [[Tress]] was surprised by how small it was, being even smaller than [[Diggen's Point]]. The only struture on the island is the [[Sorceress' Tower]].{{book ref|tress|59}} |

− | It is surrounded by undersea rocky spikes which tear apart ships which pass across them without care. This acts as a potent line of defense against invaders and is one of the reasons the Sorceress chose it.{{book ref|tress|59}}{{book ref|tress|62}} |

− | There are three known trials that one must pass in order to reach the Sorceress herself upon her island that serve as her defenses and are the reason as to why over her time on the island, the [[Verdant King|king's]] armies failed to remove her. The first of these trials is crossing the [[Midnight Sea]] itself, full of [[Midnight Essence]] nominally under her control, to get to the island.{{book ref|tress|46}} These monsters, as they are called by locals, were created by the Sorceress with direct orders from her to quench their thirst by hunting down anyone who enters the sea; the Sorceress herself does not directly control the beasts and instead gives them a measure of autonomy.{{book ref|tress|58}} If these are passed, one must then pass the next trial: her army of metal soldiers. These soldiers are [[Awakening|Awakened]] constructs which also have orders to defend her, and while under more explicit control, they also possess some autonomy in their command to eliminate any threats that try to reach the island without her permission.{{book ref|tress|46}}{{book ref|tress|64}} The final trial is the tower itself; the tower is perfectly vertical and made of [[silver]], thus making it impossible to enter without using the front door, which only someone from the inside can open.{{book ref|tress|46}} |
