Estermont

Estermont is a small, mountainous island in the Narrow Sea, to the east of Cape Wrath in The Stormlands. The island is ruled by House Estermont of Greenstone.

## Geography

The island sits to the east of Cape Wrath, separated by the Strait of Estermont. To the north is the small island of Tudbury, separated by the Tudbury Channel. To the east of the island is the Narrow Sea. The Sea of Dorne, called the South Sea by those who live on the island, is to the South.

A range of mountains runs down the island, with only well one used passage at the centre of the island. A small forest lies in the north of the island.

The island is damp and windswept with land mostly unsuited to farming. The most fertile land is to the South of the island, in the lands surrounding Greenstone. The waters around the island are bountiful, however.

## Culture

The people of Estermont are predominately sailors, traders or fishermen by trade. A small amount of the peasants of Estermont are farmers in the south of the island, on the lands surrounding Greenstone. There are also mines scattered across the island's mountains.

Islanders are no less martial than their mainland kin, but the martial tradition is predominately of a naval variety.

The traditions of knighthood are intertwined with naval tradition on the island. For example, only a knighted man is allowed to captain a ship of House Estermont. Landed knights often have duties related to the naval tradition of the island. One such example is House Daffern of Mistwatch, who have an official obligation to maintain and oversee the lighthouse.

## Prominent Settlements

Greenstone - The seat of House Estermont. The only castle on the island, it predates both the House and current name of the island, originally being the seat of the First Man house, House Greenstone. It sits on the southern shore of the island, with a port used exclusively by House Estermont.

Sandview - On the South-East tip of the island. Sandview is a lighthouse for both Durranport and Greenstone.

Durranport - The largest village on the island which boasts the largest port - specifically built for the fleet of the Storm Kings. It is where most of the ships land from the Narrow Sea. Durranport is only a short ride away from Greenstone.

Shellfort - North of Durranport, Shellfort is the site of the initial landing of the Andal forces who conquered the island. Using timber from the nearby forest, the Andals built the fort. Very little of the fort remains now, with a single tower being the only fortification in the village. It is home to the island's largest Sept.

Erich's Landing - The site of King Erich the Sailmaker's landing when he conquered the island, bringing it in to the Stormlands as a Kingdom. A village now lies on what was a site of a bloody battle between House Durrandon and House Greenstone.

Ferryhaven - A village in a bay on the West of the island. A ferry operates from the village to Mist Town.

Mistwatch - South-west of Ferryhaven. Mistwatch is the primary lighthouse for the Straight of Estermont.

Marbridge - A village based around a bridge across a river in the centre of the island.
