Dumosurna

Dumosurna is a small, rocky island in the Elaspegian Ocean, under the jurisdiction of Risevne (where it is placed with the Eastern Islands Department). Situated 231 kilometres from the southeast coast of Agalmare, it is best known as an important waypoint for supply ships making the hazardous trip from Iruze to Risevne during the Third and Fourth Global Wars.

History

The island was an important waypoint for both the Iruzeni supply ships making their way to Agalmare, as well as for the submarines used by the Coalition to hunt them, during the Fourth Global War.

The island, as well as its lighthouse, had been placed under military control upon the reactivation of the Third Asela League in mid 1939; as the tensions that would lead to war rose, the island's strategic position and role in preserving Risevne's lifeline became abundantly obvious, and steps were taken to fortify the area. The harbour to the northeast of the island was enlarged by sinking blockships in the relatively shallow waters to create a protected area, and for much of the war a squadron of 4 destroyers and a light cruiser were stationed between Dumosurna and nearby Meltonosurna.

In response to fears that a Coalition fleet may sail out directly to challenge this crucial area of sea, the capture of which would have placed Risevne under siege, extensive land defences were also placed on the island, including 28 large concrete bunkers, nearly 80 pillboxes for machine guns along the coast, and nearly 40 land-based guns meant to fight off a naval invasion.
