Saltcliffe

With little fertile soil to till, the folk of Saltcliffe rely heavily on the sea, drawing their sustenance from fish, shellfish, and the cold waters that surround their harsh land.

Saltcliffe is one of the main isles of the Iron Islands.

Geography and Background

Saltcliffe lies south of Great Wyk and west of Pyke. The isle takes its name from the towering sea-cliffs that line much of its rugged coastline, worn smooth and pale by centuries of salt spray and storm. The waves of Ironman’s Bay crash ceaselessly upon these cliffs, carving sea caves and narrow inlets beneath the grey skies.

Saltcliffe is less notable than its neighbors and the islands stony soil yields little. A single castle rises on the northwestern coast of the isle, a weathered stronghold perched high upon the cliffs, overlooking the restless sea.
