Lÿndow Island is an outlying island belonging to Borvastaat, located in between the South Medan and Galanic oceans and about 1,920km from mainland Borvastaat. The island is named for Ruthish explorer Ludeke von Lÿndow who discovered the island in 1690. However, human habitation was not made until the 18th century, with sporadic whaling settlements being established. The first year-round permanent settlement was that of Lÿndowberg in 1807, when a group of Ruthish settlers sought to consolidate the Ruthish claim over the island.
