Plunder Isle Plunder Isle is the name of the island where the Bloodsail Buccaneers ' main base is located . Their ruler , Duke Falrevere , presides over the court of their fortress — the Bloodsail Hold . Murlocs and basilisk s also make the island home . Many of the basilisks make the Den of the Cold Eye their home , and the stone statues of unfortunate adventures can be found there . The small Plunder Isle holds few distinctive features . Murlocs inhabit the coasts and the interior , menacing all who come close . The island is also home to a thriving population of basilisks , who enjoy the warm climate . Adventurers can find these creatures sunning themselves on rocks and beaches ; when the cold - blooded lizards get too hot , they retreat to the cool of numerous caves . The basilisks ’ gaze can turn a person to stone , and “ statues ” of former adventurers can be found in the jungles throughout Plunder Isle , many covered with green creepers and moss . Plunder Isle is also the home base of the Bloodsail Buccaneers . This odious bunch of thieves and murderers maintains a keep on Plunder Isle and their ships strike out from there .
