Thistletop Shrine

Thistletop Shrine is the name given to a man-made outpost on a small island just off the coast of the Thistletop Woods, a few miles away from Sandpoint. The island itself appears to be constructed by man, and has the appearance of possibly having been a statue of a head in the distant past. The top is flat, and a wooden stockade has been built on top of it. Underneath is a series of carved halls, and a rather grand shrine to the dark goddess Fierna. 
The island has been made into a goblin den, run by the fearsome goblin Ripnugget. They live on the island, but have made a formidable hidden defense around the rickety rope bridge that connects it to the mainland out of thorns and brambles. A winding maze obfuscates direction, and a hidden series of guarded and watched pathways lead up to the bridge, as well as housing their goblin dogs and the "Howly Hole": a grotto connected to the ocean where a bunyip lives and has learned that if it barks, goblins will toss food to it, namely other goblins.
The Thistletop Shrine was used as the stronghold by those who conspired to burn down Sandpoint.
