The Isle of Dread is one of the three primary islands of the [[The World Tree/Trinity Islands|Trinity Islands]], giving refuge to the bandits and smugglers that reside there. The '''Isle of Dread''' contains an entire miniature empire, profitizing in the sale of illegal or villainous items and services while allowing a loosely controlled community of freedom. | The Isle of Dread is one of the three primary islands of the [[The World Tree/Trinity Islands|Trinity Islands]], giving refuge to the bandits and smugglers that reside there.

The zoning of the Island of Dread has caused an honor system among thieves, feeding the individual needs of its citizens while avoiding wrongful harm to others. Thieves with no criminal records and have enough "cred" can transfer to other zones, but this can only be done with an appropriate council member signature, cred level, and proof of criminal actions for the required zone change. The easiest way to do this is accept tasks from a guild or organization, due to their legality with the code and marks belonging outside of the island or on visitors. Proof is easily reported to officials through the organization and allows for individuals to ascend through the separate zones. However, if reviewed by a high council, proof can be reported outside of guild affiliation as long as a.) the crime in question did not break the laws of the islands juristiction and b.) was not committed against a citizen of the island, regardless of location. Cred scores can only be viewed under heavy surveillance with a representative. Any attempts to forge, steal, or change the leger in anyway is met with immediate execution. | The zoning of the Island of Dread has caused an honor system among thieves, feeding the individual needs of its citizens while avoiding wrongful harm to others.

| − | ==Order== | + | ===Order=== |
With the code in place order is kept at a higher level than camps and hideouts of typical bandits and thieves, even surpassing some of the villages in the surrounding powers, but is not by any means organized or balanced. The zones each have their own dynamics, ranging from the civil customs found in other cities to sever anarchy and debauchery and to ironfisted justice and order. | With the code in place order is kept at a higher level than camps and hideouts of typical bandits and thieves, even surpassing some of the villages in the surrounding powers, but is not by any means organized or balanced.

What this means for citizens is an interesting dynamic of order, keeping and saving a fair amount of "bribe money" in case a citizen is wrongly accused and needs to out bribe the perpatrator. Traveling light is a necessity and must include an easily reachable blade of some sort. Those who walk without arms is either very brave or very foolish. Many citizens are also of a shady disposition, which allows for brawls, duels, verbal abuse, and conning to be a part of the normal day to day. Those who hide their colors, however, are immediately taken in for questioning and authentication. In short, the Isle of Dread is a dangerous place and, although stable, is a town of treachery and chaos. | What this means for citizens is an interesting dynamic of order, keeping and saving a fair amount of "bribe money" in case a citizen is wrongly accused and needs to out bribe the perpatrator.

For the lower levels, this is not a viable option. Once in a while, a citizen will afford to purchase a dwelling in XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX zone only to be ransacked of their belongings after moving in due to the outrageous prices of protection. Citizens of the lower levels are left with two options: fend for themselves or join a guild. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx guild and XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX guild run as the greater powers of this city, acting more as political parties than true guilds. Their profits rise from their membership fees and for their services of protection. Although they claim other virtures, these guilds are largely propoganda, with each hoping to spring at the chance to take the king's throne, should the opportunity arise. | For the lower levels, this is not a viable option.

Cutter's Row (also known as Paradise) is the area surrounding the entrance to the settlement, holding the largest amount of immigrants, visitors, and traders of the islands inhabitants.
