Thistletop

Thistletop is a small island off the Nettlewood coast, about four miles east of Sandpoint.

Some say the island bears more than a passing resemblance to a decapitated head.

Thistletop Goblins
A tribe of goblins led by chief Ripnugget called Thistletop their home, occupying a wooden stockade atop the island.

During the raid by the Regulars upon the island, the tribe's druid Gogmurt negotiated an agreement - in return for slaying Ripnugget, who had become obsessed with Nualia Tobyn to the detriment of the tribe, Gogmurt would ensure the goblins troubled Sandpoint no more.

The Complex
Below the surface of the island lies a complex of underground chambers, occupied by Nualia Tobyn and her mercenaries. The first level is more recent and contains a chapel to Lamashtu. The second and lowest accessible level is of impossibly ancient construction. A lingering enchantment seems to keep the air fresh and the climate comfortable, though some ancient upheaval left the lowest level canted down to the west.

Nualia sought to release the demon Malfeshnekor from his millennia-long imprisonment in a chamber on the lowest level, but was unable to do so before the Regulars captured her and slew Malfeshnekor.
