In the fictional World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game, The Lordship of the Isles is an archipelago of seven islands off of the eastern coast of the Flanaess well known for its naval power, tropical forests, rare woods and trade in exotic animals. Various editions of material published about this region between 1980 and 2000 enable dungeon masters to set their games within a milieu of tropical volcanic islands redolent with themes of piracy, political intrigue, a popular resistance movement against an invader, nautical adventure, vulcanism and spelunking, exotic jungles, and tropical storms. From 2001-2008, the Lordship of the Isles was also a region of the Living Greyhawk campaign linked to play in Spain.
