Others' Island (spoilers all books incl RWC)

[Farseer]

Wintrow, Kennit, Dutiful and Fitz all managed to escape this working of magic, either through deliberate force of will or by simply escaping.

I thought of this thread when I came across this in SOM, Chapter Four - Divvytown, where Kennit's charm speaks to him after he gave the ruby (stripped from the blue kitten) to Etta - "That was likely the only bit of treasure ever carried off from the Others' Island, and you gave it to a whore."

Seemingly with its dragon memories intact, I find it interesting that the charm speaks of the island not as Others' Island, as a made-up name because they happen to inhabit the place, but 'the' Others' Island, as though it actually belongs to them in some way...or in that he recognises their right to be present as caretakers despite their being Abominations? Am I splitting hairs in this with the 'the' ?

Secondly, that the charm knows that treasure is rarely, if ever, carried off from the island (though Etta, Fitz and Dutiful are by that stage yet to also successfully take something from there) suggests that it had been that way since the time when dragons were Lords of the Three Realms, and he (the charm) held dragon memories of treasure being washed up on the beach and kept on the island etc even in ancient times? If this is the case, it would not be a behaviour brought about only by the downfall of dragons and Elderlings but one the Others have retained since prior to the cataclysm?
