<br />
'''Marlfox Island''' was a heavily forested isle located in the center of the [[Big Inland Lake]]. It was once the home of [[Urthwyte the Mighty|Urthwyte]], [[Loambudd]], and [[Ashnin]]; during their residency, it was a place of plenty. <br />
<br />
At an unknown point in time, the island experienced the arrival of evil foxes led by the [[Marlfoxes|Marlfox]] race. However, in a battle the Marlfoxes killed the other foxes, leaving only the Marlfoxes and water rats left. The Marlfox Queen [[Silth]] arrived with her mate on the island, where they had a brood of seven Marlfox children.<br />
<br />
The island was almost inaccessible. It was guarded from the sky by a garrison of magpies, and the lake was filled with vicious flesh-eating fish, including [[the Deepcoiler]].<br />
<br />
Silth killed her mate and became the sole tyrannical ruler of the island, along with her wily brethren at [[Castle Marl]]. She was eventually killed by her favorite daughter [[Lantur]], who, in turn, was murdered by her brother, [[Mokkan]]. Mokkan became the new tyrant of the isle, until he was overthrown by woodlanders from [[Mossflower Woods]] and killed by [[Nettlebud]]. The osprey [[Mighty Megraw]] defeated the magpies, making it safe for birds to fly over the lake. <br />
<br />
The island then became a pleasant place to live and a farming community for the water rats, who had grown tired of Marlfox rule and rejoiced at the fact that those who had cared so little for their lives were now gone. After the Marlfoxes were killed, Mighty Megraw became the ruler of the island. <br />
