The Isle of Ghouls is an eastern isle of the Great Parch.[1b]

It is ruled by Korlock the Red, a Abhorrant Archregent. [3a]

History

Age of Myth

During the Age of Myth it was ruled by degenerate feudal courts, an offshot of an ancient dynasty that has suffered from generations of inbreeding.[1b]

After being expelled from their homeland the Golvarians took refuge here.[1b]

Age of Sigmar

The Flesh-Eater Courts that inhabit here have fully embraced their delusion. They see themselves as holy warriors fighting chaos oppressors and try to ally with Stormcast. The stormcast only see them as cannibalistic reavers and attack them, turning what could be a powerful alliance into a deadly rivalry.[1b]

The Golvarians continue to live within the delusion that they are the noble rulers, their island a shining citadel and their captial. [2a]

Golvarian Ghoulships from the Isle of Ghouls patrol the Searing Sea, in their fantasies they are privateers, keeping the sea lanes safe. In reality they raid the coasts and the sea lanes, claiming cargo, killing the crews of ships they encounter for food and also gathering lumber to make more galleons. [2a]

Proctor-General Milarn Ghilgrave of the Order of Azyr attacked the island with a formidable force, seekign to capture the Archregent. After a heavy bombardment by Gyrocopter squadrons and steam-galleons, a force of Stormcast Eternals managed to secure their prize despite heavy casualties. [3a]

For several weeks he was denied sustenance and bound in chains of consecrated sigmarite, cleansed daily with Aqua Ghyranis but still managed to kill six of the Proctor-General's retinue and took two fingers of Ghilgraves hand. Throughout this period, Lord-Arcanum Tresador sought to use a ritual to break the layers of delusion and managed to converse with Korlock. However the followers of the Archregent mobilised a armada of skin-ships and sought to rescue him. [3a]
