Located west of Cassenddy on a series of mountainous islands, the Stykll Isles are home to many different barbarian tribes. The tribal chiefs meet every twenty years in Councilcamp, located in the mountains of the northernmost island of Coldholm, but otherwise have no national identity. On the southernmost island of Falster is located a small town filled mostly with pirates, cutthroats and wanted men, Canapia, which is the primary trading spot for the southern isles.
Geography: The Stykll Isles are a series of mountainous islands off the west coast of Cassenddy. They were formed many thousands of years ago by a series of now-dormant volcanoes. There are few flat spaces and little farmland. The northernmost and largest island, Coldholm, is half covered in permafrost. It is icelocked five months of the year. Running through the middle of the island are the Nordlund Mountains, where Councilcamp is located. Midlund and Jutenheim are both mountainous and heavily forested. Falster Island, upon which Canapia is located, is the warmest of the entire chain, and covered in verdant rain forests.
History:
1172 Fd - last Council of the Chiefs.
1179 Fd - barbarian clans have to raid other nations to get food because there is no farmland.
Politics: The Islemen are gathered in tribes headed by chiefs. Every twenty years, all of the chiefs meet for Council of the Chiefs in Councilcamp; the last meeting was held in in 1172 Fd. Falster Island is primarily the home of pirates, traders, fugitives and all around evil people. It is controlled by Harlan Jurgis through his hired thugs and allies.
