You've just done something incredibly embarrassing -– not embarrassing to you, but to the higher-ups. And you're too important or visible to be fired (or, in earlier centuries, killed). What happens? You're '''Exiled to an Island''' in order to get you out of the way, out of the limelight, and out of the higher-ups' hair.
 
In fiction, this is often either [[backstory]] or a [[Beginning Tropes|Beginning Trope]]. Less often, it's an [[Ending Trope]]. It's rarely an event that takes place in the middle of a series.
