 **Status**

There are multiple known territories upon Stonesea being Bruckstone and Stonevale. Currently, more than three quarters of the Isle is still yet uncovered. The size of the Isle itself is approximately forty-five square miles and first glance from the ships that ventured along the coast give reports of mountainous ranges, dense forestry and dead lands all throughout the span of the isle. Access to the main land can be achieved by two separate ways. Taking one of the ships from the harbor into one of the many docks on the main land or from nearby Gilneas a bridge has been made that stretches to the land that is patrolled frequently by armed Guards. At the moment Stonesea is defended by a force of no more than five hundred Hawthorne men with the addition of several warships, a flagship and if necessary merchant ships with sets of cannons on each.
