Blackrock is a pirate settlement in northwestern Riverheim. It is located in the southwest of the Tortugan Sea on Blackrock island and the northern Juxacatún Jungle. Blackrock was founded in Eldham's early Colonial Period by the Tortugan pioneer Ezlioth and his expedition, the town is historically significant in that it was the capital of the Tortugan Colonies (the predecessor state to Riverheim).

Etymology
Blackrock was named after the volcanic black stone and basalt that makes up the Blackrock and Littlerock islands.

During Blackrocks derelict period, many names were given to the island, including Bataviastad and Lenivsk.

Early history
In pre-Athazian times, Blackrock island was rarely inhabited due to the thick jungles surrounding the island. However it is believed that there was originally a remote religious site set up by the Blomachi druids dedicated to the Fleurist water spirit Uibrit, this site was long abandoned by the time of Tortugan settlement.
