Sacrifice Island is an island in the Conttoyer region of the Caribbean, located along the northern coast of Mexico.

History

Sacrifice Island was first inhabited by the region's native people, the Aztecs, who built a towering temple into the island's cliff face. The practice of sacrificial offerings was observed by Spanish explorers charting the coastline, who gave the island the name "Isla del Sacrificios". The famed conquistador Hernan Cortes briefly stopped at the island on his way to the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan in 1520. 

The legendary English explorer and privateer Sir Francis Drake visited the island at least once in his career, leaving behind his prized twin swords and matched pistols, and a chest containing his privateering uniform and armor. 

Sometime in the early eighteenth century, the pirate Edward Kenway visited the island. After eliminating a group of hostile treasure seekers, Kenway found Drake's belongings and took them for himself.
