The three islands

Topal Island is a far-off island region (sometimes depicted as a chain of three islands), located in the middle of the Topal Bay. The island region is located roughly southeast of Leyawiin and northwest of Soulrest, adjacent to the strip of land around Xi-Tsei that belongs to Cyrodiil. Additionally, the volcanic islet of Grand Topal Hideaway lies off the eastern coast of Topal Island.

History

Sometime after the Empire of Cyrodiil's collapse, Topal Bay pirates terrorized the waters around the island. Voldar, the Terror of Topal Bay, plundered several ships west of Topal Island, and the Blue Wamasu, a notorious band of pirates, would often hang around Topal Island's coast.

By 2E 864, the island was considered a territory of the Elsweyr Confederacy by the Empire. However, by the late Third Era, the Empire considered the isle to be a territory of Cyrodiil.

Notes

• The island first appeared as an unnamed chain of three islands on the Arena map, not part of any particular province. Later maps depict it is as one large isle in the Topal Bay.
• An early name for it was Topal Isle, and there were once plans to feature it as a battleground in ESO.
