Oninoshima (鬼の島 translated to "Island of Demon"), also known under the code-name Hermes is the Fortnite: Battle Royale Island used in Chapter 6. The codename continues the trend of codenaming the map after Greek Deities beginning with 'H'.
Storyline[]
Pre-Chapter 6[]
The ancestors of Daigo, Jade, and Kendo created Masks of Power, which caused the Shattering War. The war resulted in most of the masks being shattered and magic being banished. The Fox Clan was blamed for the incident.
Nowadays, their family only creates ceremonial masks - while Daigo wishes to create a true Mask of Power and wander into the Spirit Realm.
Chapter 6[]
Hope and Jones arrived on the island in search of a powerful artifact. A broken shard of The Zero Point followed the duo and crash landed near Nightshift Forest, unleashing a Reality Wave across the island - reawakening ancient magic, reopening the gate to the Spirit Realm, and allowing demons to resurface.
