===== Section 84: Island Descriptions 4: Scythe =====
=== Introduction ===
The Scythe is the 4th region within the Wushanko Isles accessible by the Player Owned Ports minigame, found east of The Hook. The Scythe is a large island chain covered in cherry trees. The many soothsayers and seasingers of the area often provoke their khans to wage war upon each other; this and the preponderance of sea monsters make the Scythe dangerous to traverse.

From what the barmaid tells the player, there are a number of Purists in this region that belittle and insult those affected by the affliction that gives humans parts of normally-fish anatomy; these afflicted are commonly known as sea orphans.

=== Scythe Islands ===
- Aloft Dagger: This large island is the home of the soothsayers, where they are educated before they practice their arts elsewhere.
- Haranu: The island of Haranu is awash with cherry forests. The island was once home to occultists before they were rounded up and executed by the Scythe's khans; a renegaded group returned to the island only to be outed by the convict.

- The Island of Clear Eyes: An island mentioned in whispers as a place where the mind is made sharper, the senses clearer and meditation more effective.

- Winds' Home: The prevailing winds around this island change daily, some say on the whim of the sea witches who live here. Unlocked via the standard voyage "The Wind's Home" that also unlocks the crew Sea Witch.

=== Introduction ===
The Pincers is the 6th region within the Wushanko Isles accessible by the Player Owned Ports minigame. This is where Felix the Black Marketeer lived before beginning his journey to the West. Its khans have armies of ships and soothsayers and wage war against each other at a whim. Quin lives here, in the palace known as Paradise.

The islands are joined together by massive bridges and dams in a failed attempt to engender togetherness and trust. It is a hotbed of intrigue and betrayal. Steel production here bolsters the massive shipping industry.

===== Section 87: Island Descriptions 7: Loop =====
=== Introduction ===
The Loop is the 7th region within the Wushanko Isles accessible by the Player Owned Ports minigame, found far from the West, giving the resource Terracotta. The islands are protected by a great reef that is very dangerous to navigate. Some say the reef changes shape like it is alive, while others have claimed it is due to geological instability in the area. The pearls recovered from the reef are very valuable.

=== Loop Islands ===
- Dhar Pei's Vantage: The inhabitants of this island are thought of by other Wushanko peoples with a genuine - if occasionally condescending - fondness. They have an undeserved reputation for dyspraxia.
- Light Under Sea: A faint actinic glow under inky waters is the only sign that wisps inhabit the coral caves honeycombing the stem of this tiny island. Unlocked via the standard voyage "Light Under Sea" that also unlocks the crew Wisp.
- Straits of the Oyster Pearl: The great fortress-city in these straits, known as the Bubble of Mists, is the center of the pearl trade in Wushanko.
- The Reef that Lies to Mapmakers: Most of the coral formations of this reef lie below the surface; only the unusual formation known as the Spires of Grief is large enough to house its own city.

===== Section 88: Island Descriptions 8: Shield =====
=== Introduction ===
The Shield is the 8th (final) region within the Wushanko Isles accessible by the Player Owned Ports minigame. Not much is known about these far-off islands. Rare koi have been known to congregate in the surrounding waters, and khans send mining expeditions to the islands to find rich veins of minerals and jewels before their rivals.

- Isle of Adamant: Adamant is a rare sight in the Eastern Lands; significant deposits on this inhospitable rock give it its name and its wealth.
- Kami-Shima: The island was kept secret and well-hidden by the Tengu due to its extremely high levels of magic and anima, which causes it to be the source of the various sea monsters, which are also created from anima. It also acts as the center force of an energy barrier similar to the Edicts of Guthix which protects the Eastern Lands from the influence of the gods.
- Tengu Archipelago: This island chain is named not for the legendary bird-demons but for ten equally legendary local sages known as the Gu.
- The Faraway Place where Things are Kept: Island is empty except for an entrance to a resource dungeon offering 1 of 2 chests for a random reward.
