Eastcheap Isle

Eastcheap Isle is an Illuminati submersible ship, filled with the Society's treasure. It is disguised to resemble an island and is guarded by various attack and sentry robots as well as by Falstaff and his gang. The treasurer of Eastcheap, Wyvern the Dragon, resides here as well.

Eastcheap's treasury and treasurer.

Falstaff and his gang of thieves were placed in charge of protecting Eastcheap Island, the Illuminati's treasury, after Falstaff joined the organization. ("Strangled", "Losers")

While Falstaff and his gang run operations and security on the "island", the treasurer is Wyvern the dragon. He sleeps atop the massive pile of treasures and protects it.

In 1997, Shari and Thailog came to Eastcheap on orders from the Illuminati to deliver to them the Hand Of Valmont. They gave the relic to Wyvern, but secretly stole the haft of Gugnir from the hoard. ("Acquisitions")

Unless they were sold or lost, its probable that the jewels Dominic Dracon and Mace Malone stole are currently stashed away on Eastcheap Isle. [1]

Real World Background

Eastcheap Isle is named after a district of London, which Shakespeare depicted as the favorite haunt of Falstaff and his friends in his Henry IV plays and Henry V. The Boar's Head Tavern, where they reveled and caroused, stood here.
