. | Hearthold Keep and Environs
The Keep itself is on the highest point on Bridge Island, on a rise that is the highest elevation of the island's central mesa. The only way to easily walk onto the mesa is through Hearthold Keep. The cliff wall is crumbly and treacherous in places, sheer and smooth in others. Protected by these cliffs, the raised mesa is lush with the flora and fauna of all three Taur islands, and other creatures and plants besides. But the scenery is rather novel for wemics, since their own island is rather monochromatic for a tropical locale -- the legends handed down from generation to generation blame the loss of the more lovely and colorful plants and animals on the devastation wrought by the hellhounds that plague Wemic Island. |
