History: (Traveling looking for a place to call their own the residents of this island settled there 200 years ago taking refuge, for their melting pot of cultures and beliefs. The colony of Forge Island was established and began to trade with passersby. Over the years fewer and fewer people came to the island as the grandline became more and more dangerous. The people of Forge Island though attempting to keep their civilization all the while became almost fully dependent on their natural resources pearls being in large supply these were the major exports bartered to the few passing ships for supplies. Finally the island was discovered by the Redbeard Pirates who settled it as their base rebuilding and restoring the massive fortress at the base of the cliffs.)
