Islands are land locations that serve as some of the most common destinations for Quests and World Events.

List of regional islands

There are 74 charted islands found across the named regions of The Sea of Thieves split across 25 large islands, 39 small islands, and 10 Fortresses.

This does not include Sea Forts, Seaposts, Outposts, or Siren Shrines / Treasuries as these are not classified as Islands within the Master Explorer seasonal trial.

Large Islands

Large Islands are significant landmasses consisting of hills, caves, and the ruins of old settlements.

Riddle Maps are exclusive to these islands due to their size and vast selection of unique landmarks.

Fortresses are islands that have fortified structures built by Skeleton forces and can be host Skeleton Fort or Fort of Fortune raids, with the unique Fort of the Damned raid hosted solely at its respective location. Most regions have three Fortresses, while The Devil's Roar has only one, and The Ancient Isles has two Fortresses plus Fort of the Damned which was previously the regular Fortress, Old Boot Fort.
