Elembis: Made misc. improvements in an effort to make this article a suitably "official" one for the island/islet. Neutrality improvements can still be made, but this is a clan-run article at the moment.

 Morgan Freelance vowed to return and by 13 April had blazed the letters "RE" into the jungle of the island, sufficient to be visible from the sky. His efforts were resisted by guerilla activity from DCC members, one of whom was slain in the ensuing skirmish. Morgan himself died shortly thereafter in a brutal retaliatory killing which has sparked a conflict between members of both the DCC and the RE. Both groups have agreed that fights over the territory may only occur on the disputed territory, not on the mainland.

+'''Shark Island''', roughly centered at {{map|70|568|26|416}}, is the name the [[Royal Expedition]] gives to the largest of the [[Western Islets|three land masses]] off the west coast of Shartak. In their view, the two smaller land masses should be called islets, since they measure barely a dozen units at their widest, and the largest should be called an island, since it is considerably larger than the others, being over fifty units long and almost twenty wide.

On 22 February he [[Talk:Royal_Expedition/Archive|announced]] his educated guess to other members of the [[RE]] and set out. He reached the island four days later, claiming it in the name of Her Royal Highness.
