Description
The island is quite large and contains over half the population of the Sea Baronies. That being said, very few people visit the island. To do so requires being known to the Naval Phalanx, a personal invitation from the baron himself or one of his liegeman, or a visiting permit—which requires whoever holds it to not only pay 150 gold, but also submit to a tattoo of an iguana's head on the left forearm.
History
The baron of Asperd Isle has customarily acted as the Lord High Admiral and leader of the Dominion of the Sea Barons since its founding. This comes from when Baron Asperd won a naval battle and his name became synonymous with the island itself and the Asperdi-Duxchan chain.
Geography
The island is the northernmost island in the Asperdi-Duxchan chain, off the coast of Winetha.
Resources
The main export for which Asperd Isle is noted, apart from the foodstuffs the entire island chain is noted for, is the resinous tar, which has many uses for builders and alchemists.
Rumors and legends
The Island is home to Tar Hill, which is surrounded by rumors of dark magic.
