Overview

Hangover Island (also known as Lager Dagger Island) is a multi-level island with Animal Crossing-style terrain featuring waterfalls and upper/lower sections. Despite typical pirate island expectations, the island features civilized buildings and infrastructure. The island’s name suggests a heavy drinking culture, with taverns, gambling establishments, and organized brawling pits.

The island is ruled by King Ilur of the Lager Darien Daggers, who hosts the Blade Festival every three years. The island serves as a haven for pirates, merchants, and entertainers, with a surprising level of organization despite its rough reputation. Violence is commonplace and accepted as part of daily life - bartenders treat deadly bar fights as “just a regular day.”

The island’s most prominent feature is the massive Statue of Pirate King Henry, which dominates the landscape and contains seven chambers honoring the Warlords of the Sea. A burnt building behind the statue suggests significant conflict in the recent past.
