Rolmond

The Island of Rolmond rests about twenty miles offshore from the Mainland. Rolmond has several large towns, two big cities, and various small villages scattered. The largest city on the island is Mirstone on the eastern edge, followed by Tarrin's Watch on the northwestern end of the island.

The outstanding physical features of the island include the Frostfangs, splitting the island in half, with Redwater Lake and Helmfirth on either side. There are several large forests dotting the land with The Blackhollow and Oakheart Forest being the largest. The land is generally fertile and allows for good harvests. The rivers that dot the countryside are slow-moving and either flow into the lakes or out to sea.

The climate of Rolmond is generally temperate although the winters can be harsh, especially around Mirstone. The autumn months do not last as long, as the winter gales around Rolmond cause the winter to usually begin earlier than it does on the Mainland. Heavy rainfall in the end of the summer months runs into the autumn/winter sleet and wind.

The size of the island allows for around a 30-40 thousand inhabitant carrying capacity. The main reason for the colonization and subsequent settling of Rolmond is undoubtedly its vast timber reserves within its large forests. The blackheart pine trees that come out of Blackhollow and Beckton are specifically useful due to their enormous height and unnaturally hard wood that is used in building fortresses, ships, and other structures. The other export is the vast iron deposits found within the eastern edge of the Frostfangs, near Tagon's Bridge. These resources have been an integral part of the (Faction #1)'s prosperity on the mainland.

At the time of the sequences surrounding Rikar, 1074 AU, Rolmond is on one side of the war taking place on the mainland. It owes its allegiance to (Faction #1) and thus supports them fully, trading officially with only them. There are still smugglers here and there that have clients elsewhere, but for the most part Rolmond has no love for those at war with (Faction #1).
