Winter's Rock (island)

==Geography==
Winter's Rock island produces no significant crops (such as wheat or barley), nor can it sustain livestock farming (such as cattle and pigs). The surrounding waters of Newcastle Bay are plentiful enough with fish - the main food source that can be locally obtained by the island's inhabitants.
Its command of the sea lanes passing into or out of Newcastle Bay, to and from Newcastle Docks and Newcastle, give it an ideal strategic value. The Royal Fleet is stationed at Winter's Rock island, from which it can effectively defend (or in time of rebellion, blockade) any approaches to the capital city.
