Marlfox Island was located in the center of the Great Inland Lake and was described as being heavily forested. It was once the home of the badgers Loambudd and Urthwyte, at the time it was a place of plenty, but after they went west to Salamandastron it was deserted until the arrival of evil foxes led by the Marlfox race. However, in a battle the Marlfoxes killed the other foxes, leaving only the Marlfoxes and water rats left. The Marlfox Queen Silth arrived with her mate on the island, where they had a brood of seven Marlfox children.
