Previously a pirate-affliated island that hosted the Paramount Championship Tournament, a competition between teams consisting mostly of pirates. After a Navy raid, the island was controlled by R.A.F.T, and is now set to be converted into a R.A.F.T base[1]. This will likely end the Paramount Championship for good.
Geography[]
Joaldo Island is a massive island surrounded by tall, circular stone walls. A wide entrance cuts through the stone wall with carved fists on either side and leads into a dark tunnel before it gives away into the inside of the island. The water is formed into a circular shape by the land, and off in the distance ships stand at a few docks. The main road winds down from the docks and goes straight to the massive pillar coliseum that holds the islands Paramount Tournament. The road is bisected by another road, and on the left leads to the Forgehood, while the right leads to the Respite District. Joaldo Island is shown in the episode "The Pirate Code" until "The Sea of Red and Gold".
Notable Locations[]
The Forgehood[]
The Forgehood is a road of various structures that flank both sides, the ground level has smaller stalls and under awnings, there are wooden inclines that lead to the second story of different buildings. One building, in particular, is Calico Mists, an alchemy shop of halfling man Braxton Brady full of potions, knick-knacks, and more. Another interesting building is a large black stone furnace-shaped structure, with a chimney stretching from the ground floor to the second story of the Forgehood. A metal plaque on the wall reads "Corkscrew". The third place is a colorful awning on the top floor, just above Calico Mists and being a general store. Other buildings include fruit and vegetable stalls, and clam stalls.
The Respite District[]
Down the right road is the Respite District, a little less vertical than the Forgehood with the buildings structured around a cul-de-sac with a large fountain in the middle. There are a few stone and rubble pathways that lead around the fountain, and some buildings found are a cedar wooden square bathhouse with sliding paper doors, a cottage-style building with people being wheeled in on structures and others leaving with bandages- a small wooden sign reading "Rudy's Respite". Two other important buildings stand side by side. On the left is a tall, beautiful skinny building that doesn't fit its neighbor. It's 3 stories tall and made of light Redstone, with large elegant windows named "The Sprawled Brawlers", maybe a traditional inn. Next to it is a tavern called "The Knockout Stay", made of thick log exteriors and 2 stories high while it is attached to a shorter and longer structure. People fall out of the tavern drunk off their asses, items thrown out of the windows constantly, with lanterns hanging off the sides. There is constant chaos within this tavern.
Rudy's Respite[]
Rudy's Respite was an apothecary inside a rectangular townhouse with the door permanently open, appearing to have no reservations on the people that entered. Inside, there were multiple beds spaced out with wooden shelves of herbs and bandages sprawled across the walls. The room appeared to be put together in a rush with medicine having easy access near the beds. In the backroom, there was a large rectangular table with cut-up herbs and beakers bubbling, filling the room with the smell of herbs. In the left corner of the room, there was a large wooden hatch with rickety stairs that led down. Following the stairs would lead one to the basement with rock walls and wooden panels on the floor. It was described as "cozy" with the warm glow of torches. There were spaced-out booths across the walls along with a bar, and a large circular table in the middle.
Paramount Coliseum[]
This coliseum is massive, pillared with marble stone, and circular though seems to share the back wall of the island's walls. The closer you get, the more it seems to curve up. At the entrance is a temporary large wooden bulletin board for tournament participants to write their names. Multiple archways open up to allow audience members to walk into, and the very front entrance leads into a tunnel well-lit with torches and lanterns. Past the tunnel is a room for audience and participant lines, on the participants' side resting a desk where the Ticketmaster would confirm their names and teams. Following a hallway, the floor goes down into a steel staircase and the walls become full of brass pipes, metal, and steel- an almost modern look. The hallway curves and at the right stands doors with technical screens that have the names of crews and participants. Each door reads into a pentagonal room with chairs, cubbies, and tables with light food. The actual coliseum itself seems to change form for each tournament but is a massive circular space with tall bleachers for audience members and a shifting fake sky.
