"All those scrolls lead us tot he belly of this remote island, awful out of the way Captain"
―William Faulkner to Ratonhnhaké:ton concerning the island's location (1777)[src]

Oak Island is an island in Lunenburg County on the south shore of Nova Scotia, Canada. It is noted as the location of the "Money Pit" and the site of over 200 years of treasure hunting.[1]

Kidd's Treasure

Captain Kidd, a Scottish pirate, got hold of the Shard of Eden at some point, a ring-like Piece of Eden that served as a personal shield for the wearer, and later hid it on Oak Island to keep it safe from falling in Templar hands. He also created a map providing clues to the Shard's location, and divided it among four of his former crew members. In 1777 the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton sailed to Oak Island and located the Shard with the help of the maps left by Kidd.[2]

The main landmarks of the island's treasure location included an eagle's nest, a burnt tree, a home of wolves, a strangely shaped rock, the center hiding point of Kidd's treasure. Hidden beneath the hard stone was a series of tunnels beneath the island that held the Shard and strange green rocks throughout it.
