The Acapetra Islands (pronounced ah-cah-PET-rah) are an archipelago off the coast of western Hellea, south of the Philiraki Peninsula. The islands were once under the control of the anarchic pirate nation of Hierassa, but the pirates were defeated and driven away by an alliance between several storm giant princes in Y8523*. Today the islands remain under the control of the giants, with their largest settlement at Iroikos.
Large amounts of flotsam washes ashore in the Acapetra Islands, carried there by the ocean currents. The remains of ships reported missing appear on the islands' beaches oddly frequently, leading some to consider the sea nearby to be cursed.
