Geography & terrain

A small, hilly island in the middle of the Irish Sea, with a rugged upland spine and coastal cliffs around much of its perimeter. Temperate oceanic climate, cool and often windy. Entirely coastal by nature of being an island. Its isolation offers some natural insulation from casual overland threats, but its small size means it could never resist a determined sea-based force.
