The southern islands are three minor land masses to the south and south east of the main island. One lies south of the York Peninsula, another just offshore of Derby while a third has only recently been discovered almost midway between them but lying a considerable distant off shore, only reachable through shark-infested waters.

The western most of the southern islands is just off the York Peninsula, a half day's travel (or less) south of York.

Centered on GPS coordinate [-70.401,+26.270], this 56 square island is not much to look at. Of those 56 squares is 17 squares of jungle, with the remaining 39 squares as beach.

More details to be provided as they come to hand. The intrepid explorer Simeon Carter has sent pigeons to the outsider settlements in hope of communicating about this new discovery.
