'''Silent Isle''' is a location in the waterways of [[Lower Caves]].

== Description ==
A mysterious, dark island located somewhere in the waterways between [[Core City]] and [[Junkyard]], more specifically at the southwest corner of [[Core Ring]]. Most ferry captains stay away from this place, and it isn't near any main trading routes. [[Captain Broderick]] on the [[Junkyard Docks]] will take you there during and after a quest to retrieve cargo lost at the island. In the [[Underrail: Expedition]] expansion, the player can access Silent Isle with a [[Jet Ski]].

Some [[azuridae]], [[rathound]]s can be seen around and a large amounts of [[mindshroom]]s grow on the island. Walking around in the darkess of the island gives you a [[Strange Feeling]], but this can be avoided by staying in light. [[Mysterious Pillars (Silent Isle)|Mysterious Pillars]] of psionic nature can be found in a cave underneath the isle.

=== The island ===
* 7 respawning [[Mindshroom]]s
* 4 patches of respawning [[Lake Mushroom]]s
* To the southeast is a secret (found with 7 [[Perception]]) underwater bridge leading to a small area with a dead man on it.
* on the north side of the isle is a metal container containing [[Lost Cargo]] (item for quest [[Retrieve the lost cargo]]) and a [[Periscope Part]] oddity (2 XP)
* on the west side of the isle is a pile of rubble containing a [[Trilobite Fossil]] oddity, 1 XP
* Can be fished in this area: [[Blue Eel]], [[Minihead]], [[Yellow Puckerfish]], [[Walking Fish]], [[Anglerfish]], [[Pentapus]], [[Black Dragon]]

=== The caves ===
* The middle of the cave is occupied by [[Mysterious Pillars (Silent Isle)|Mysterious Pillars]]

=== Captain Broderick's story ===
''This one time I was sailing back from the Hub when I started having problems with the engine's power converter. To fix it I had to turn off the main engine and I didn't want to do that in the middle of the river because the current was strong and I knew there were some stalagmites around I could crash into.''

''So I anchored at this nearby place the sailors call Silent Isle. I heard tales of it being cursed and how anyone who spends too much time there is never seen again and such nonsense. But that didn't scare me. The only thing I cared about is whether there were pirates there, and as far as I could tell there weren't any.''

''So I turned off the engine and main lights because I didn't want to be seen and I also didn't want them to drain the battery before I could finish the repairs. So I was working there in silence with just a flashlight on so I could see what I was doing. It took me hours to fix the converter, but I managed to do it. I powered up the engine and started to retract the anchor. And I switched on the main lights.''

''That's when I saw it... or should I say him. I saw me! Standing there on the shore looking back at myself.''

''It's not that just that I saw a guy that looked a lot like me, or even that I saw a guy that looked exactly like me... He was wearing the exact same clothes I was with exactly the same stains and tears that my clothes had. It was like I was looking into a mirror, except his pose was different.''

''And you know what the weirdest thing was? For a few brief moments I couldn't really tell which one of us was real. That was the creepiest feeling I ever had in my life.''

''I didn't know what to do. I just stood there staring at him and listening to the anchor pulling up. And as soon as the anchor was up, I pushed the throttle and raced out of there.''

''And nowadays I just steer clear of that island altogether.''
:''—[[Captain Broderick]]''
