Bordering [[Shipbreaker Bay]], the [[Stormlands Marches]], and the [[Sea of Dorne]], the region stretches from the hills and plains of the western Drench to the Estermont Isles in the east. Dominated by the primeval Rainwood, Cape Wrath bears the brunt of storms sweeping through from the [[Summer Sea]] and is rich in timber, furs, amber, and fertile soil. Originally granted to the [[Children of the Forest]] by [[Durran the Devout]] and later reclaimed by [[Durran Bronze-Axe]], the peninsula once again fell away from the Storm Kings under the reign of the incompetent Durwald the Fat and has remained an independent enclave under the influence of the mysterious [[Green Queen]] ever since. Little is known of the notorious woods-witch outside of the forest itself, but it is said that even the remaining [[Stormman]] houses of the region pay greater heed to her words than any riders from [[Storm's End]]. | ||
The men of Cape Wrath are a varied lot. Those woodsmen of the Rainwood and the Estermont Isles dwell in quiet, murky subsistence in their wet forests, preferring to uphold the laws of weirwood and root above bronze and stone, holding the Pact signed on the Isle of Faces in especially high esteem. The scions of House Wylde and House Greenstone have learnt to live in tune with nature, to the beats of thunder on the coasts, and the breath of wood and branch—with most of Cape Wrath following suit | The men of Cape Wrath are a varied lot.

The Children of the Forest have lived amongst the ancient trees of the Rainwood since before the First Men crossed the Arm of Dorne into the lands now known as Westeros. While once their domain stretched across the entire continent, the Rainwood now stands as the last true bastion of Westeros’ native peoples. First ‘granted’ to the Children by Storm King Durran ‘the Devout,’ son of Durran Godsgrief and his wife Elenei, the Rainwood was retaken only a century later by Durran ‘Bronze-Axe.’ Despite this reclamation, the Children of the Forest proved difficult to truly subjugate, and the Rainwood eventually fell away from the Storm Kingdom under the reign of the incompetent Durwald ‘the Fat.’ It has remained an independent enclave under the rule of the mysterious woods-witch, the Green Queen, ever since. | The Children of the Forest have lived amongst the ancient trees of the Rainwood since before the First Men crossed the Arm of Dorne into the lands now known as Westeros.
