The High Isle
The High Isle is the largest island of Rockhome, and the home of the Highlanders. As it winds northward, it steadily rises, with the cliffs that compose its northeastern faces rising close to 40 meters in height. The southwestern coast of the isle is a stretch of stony beaches specked with gold. Iron deposits line the higher points of the land, and the rust-red bleed on the sides of many cliffs can be seen from afar.
The highest and northernmost plateau of the High Isle is known as its Crown. The Crown is always a few degrees colder than the rest of the island, and is the annual nesting ground of the rime-birds. To the south, situated on the cliff that stands closest to the Mountain of Green Fire, lies Cliff Town, a permanent settlement inhabited by the Highlanders.
