There is this strange isle in the seas to the north of New Magincia and west of Moonglow, completely made of rock and totally empty and useless.
From the water around it comes one of the giant column, and on the map the entrance of Hythloth is marked near this isle (although it is more like the exit then the entrance).
What is this isle, is the Isle of Fire or what?

I don't know of any in-game explanation for it, but I only made it to Trinsic in U9 before quitting due to extreme lameness (the awful dialog between the Avatar and Dupre's ghost was the final straw).

This island roughly corresponds to the location of the Isle of Fire, but then Hythloth is located underneath it instead of being located under the Isle of the Avatar where it belongs. So who knows. The U9 map is so FUBAR you just have to take it like a bad action movie; Dispense with any notions of rationality and accept it for what it is.

Sorry, I'm probably not the best person to answer this question... I'm still a little bitter.

True, the map is somewhat skewed, but I actually liked the idea of a shattered Britannia in U9. And with the dialogue patch, it was pretty OK (never bothered with it unpatched).
