Three-step Isles

Posted on January 29, 2025

About 600 km south of the Rightarm Islands are the Three-step Isles. Since 1610, this small archipelago has been the main port for the Wolf Pirates. With decent winds, it takes about 3 to 6 days to sail from the Rightarm Islands to Kethaela.

The main island is about 80 km long and 16 km wide, so about 1300 square km. It is a littler smaller than Rhodes or Oahu, but twice the size of the Isle of Man.

The Main Island is larger than the others put together, so all in all there’s probably around 2000 square kilometres in total.

It is pretty comparable in size to the Lefthand or Righthand Islands in Kethaela.
