The Isle of Doom is craggy and inhospitable nightmare lands to anyone who is not already a Deathgripper. The only purpose these islands had for Vikings was to send criminals there as a punishment. For some Dragons, however, the isle is a paradise.
The Isle of Doom is mentioned in the description for the DeathgripperSappheral, where it is stated that Sappheral's rider, Thordis Skallagrimsdottir, was banished there by a jealous rival as a death sentence, but bonded with Sappheral and eventually escaped from the island.
“
Framed for her lover's death by a jealous rival, Thordis was banished to the Isle of Doom; a punishment that was meant to be a death sentence as it was known that Deathgrippers lived there. After three desperate weeks of hiding from these dangerous predators, Thordis discovered the injured Sappheral, whose wing had been crippled in a battle with another dragon. His wounds were festering and he was close to death, but Thordis nursed him back to health with her knowledge of healing herbs. They were then linked in bonds of friendship and became inseparable. Sappheral protected Thordis against the dangers of the Isle of Doom, and they flew back to Thordis' home town to wreak revenge on the man who was responsible for her lover's death.[src]
