Clockmaker's Isle

Clockmaker's Isle

Clockmaker's Isle is a group of yellow islands on the eastern edge of the official world map, with a city dot on the largest island. It lies north of Wyn, south of the Broken Islands, and east of the Island of Fae. The map's blue dashed line passes through it.

Sources

Known only from the official world map. The name does not appear in any of the novels or short stories processed so far. The History of Rislandia bible, which is processed next, may add more detail.

In A History of Rislandia

According to A History of Rislandia, the islands are referred to as the Clockmaker Isles — a later name applied to what the sourcebook calls the Far Northern Islands. This positions them within a broader historical naming tradition, implying earlier designations predate the "Clockmaker" identity now shown on the world map.

Location

The sourcebook places the Clockmaker Isles within the Broken Islands. This conflicts with the novel-based account on this page, which describes Clockmaker's Isle as lying south of the Broken Islands and treats the two as distinct groups (see Conflicts).

Peoples and Cultures

According to A History of Rislandia, some of the islands support small human populations that developed unique, isolated cultures as a result of their remoteness. Other islands remained entirely uninhabited and were claimed by Fae Oslan.

Temporal Anomaly

The sourcebook notes a remarkable phenomenon: time flows strangely on these islands. No mechanism or cause is given in the sourcebook, but the detail is presented as an established characteristic of the location rather than mere legend. This property may relate to the islands' association with Fate Crystals or other anomalous forces, though the sourcebook does not make that connection explicitly.

Adventure Hook

A History of Rislandia flags the Clockmaker Isles as the subject of an exploration adventure hook, suggesting the sourcebook treats them as a site of active narrative interest rather than purely historical record.
