Eastern Island

Note: This article is for Unreleased Content.

In the original version of the game, there was a large island to the east of Dereth, beyond Asheron's Island. In the original AC Explorer database, there are two points of interest listed on the island:

• 55.6N, 90.9E - A castle. It is described as having vines on the sides, with energy shooting out of the center. A Dark Wisp was located here.
• 52.5N, 85.9E - A lifestone. It is said that Sclavi, including the Essa variety, were nearby.

It is unknown how explorers managed to reach the island, but it may have been possible to be portal stormed here. Later on, the island was modified and then removed entirely and replaced with Aphus Lassel.

In the Stormwaltz 2016 Q&A, in Question 29: Inaccessible Islands Stormwaltz stated that the Eastern Island (and the Frozen Wasteland Island) were test areas to refine landscape art.

The island was clipped around two years ago. Clipped meaning that we ran some tests on the island by carving large valleys through the landmass... Then we decided to add Aphus Lassel and erased a fair majority of the island, replacing it with the land of Tuskers.

So ultimately it was removed. And no, Asheron's Island was not part of that enormous island. Asheron's Island has always been in the same spot just off the coast of Eastham, so far as I can remember.
