Red Stalk Isle is an island located off the coast of North Dakota, known for holding a large quantity of red licorice stalks.
The Curse of the Black Licorice[]
The Curse of the Black Licorice is a curse put on the island to prevent anyone from not sharing the candy found on it. The way to invoke the curse is to cut down the red licorice stalks on the island and refuse to share them with anyone else. By doing so, the people who stole away the licorice will not only have their red licorice turn black, but their own bones will also turn to black licorice. Everything they eat or drink will taste like black licorice. They will also not be able to move during the day, as they collapse into lumps of rags and bones the moment sunlight touches them. The curse can be reversed by planting a Red Stalk Seed on the island, and grow a new forest of red licorice trees.
History[]
Red licorice stalks
A previously undiscovered island, it was found by Captain Black John and his crew aboard the Root Canal. They proceeded to cut down all the red licorice stalks and take them away from the island in order to keep them for themselves. This brought upon them the island's curse. After learning from Madame Zin how to stop the curse, they returned to plant a seed, but did not make it before sunrise. That same day, Captain Stickybeard and his cabin boy came ashore as well and took the seed from Black John's skeleton hand before sailing away.
Red Stalk Isle at night
Black John and his licorice pirates returned years later with the cabin boy who stole their seed. Discovering that the boy had in fact eaten the seed very recently, they planted him in the ground to have the seed grow from inside of him. Their plan was thwarted by Stickybeard and Numbuh 5, who challenged him to a sugar drinking contest and stole Heinrich away. As the sun rose up, the cursed pirates turned to bones again and Numbuh 5 escaped with Heinrich and the candy pirates.
Geography[]
The island loomed over a nearby city, whose citizens did not seem to mind the living in the shadow of the large landmark. The island was visible from a distance of fifty-two miles. The licorice stalks grew to such height and thickness that in some places they would blot out the sun. The island has a number of stairs in stone leading to the top of the island, and it was left barren after Black John's pillage.
