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.

Famous quotes containing the words lordship and/or isles:
“The next thing his Lordship does, after clearing of the coast, is the dividing of his forces, as he calls them, into two squadrons, one of places of Scriptures, the other of reasons....
All that I have to say touching this, is that I observe a great part of those his forces do look and march another way, and some of them fight amongst themselves.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“The isles of Greece! the isles of Greece
Where burning Sappho loved and sung,”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
