Estwatch

Estwatch is a small island not technically under any jurisdiction but desired by many nations and city-states for its strategic position. During the Dragon Age, it is under the control of the Felicisima Armada, which has turned it into a notoriously lawless port. The town of Little Llomerryn serves as its capital.
The nearby Marcher states of Kirkwall, Starkhaven, and Hercinia have all tried and failed to claim the valuable land. The island sits adjacent to the Free Marches and Rivain.
== History ==
The Tevinter Imperium first settled the island in approximately -880 Ancient. The Imperium fortified the largest natural bay on the island with a defensive wall and used the island as a facility to repair warships during military campaigns and slaving ventures against the Alamarri.
The time until the First Blight saw heavy usage of the island but the turmoil in the Imperium during this period halted Imperial naval activity in the Waking Sea. In -180 Ancient, the Imperium was forced to abandon the island to focus on mainland troubles, so that Andraste's armies found the fortress completely deserted.
During the Divine and Glory Ages, the island remained unoccupied and the emptiness coupled with the debris from shipwrecks that littered the coast bred in the Free Marches the belief that the island was haunted or cursed, and contributed to the failure of any Marcher state to claim a lasting foothold on the land.
Estwatch became a naval base during the Storm Age. In 7:54 Storm, the Qunari used the island as a base of operations in their war against the Marcher states, Nevarra, and Orlais. During the Exalted Marches, it was a site of heavy combat. In 7:78 Storm, during the New Exalted Marches, the Qunari lost the island to the Felicisima Armada. Raiders have since taken the port and the town of Little Llomerryn was built there as a nod to nearby Llomerryn.
