The largest peninsula within the Stormlands, Cape Wrath juts out into the Narrow Sea, bordering Shipbreaker Bay, the Eastern Marches, the Sea of [[Dorne]], and encompassing the Estermont Isles. Dominated by the primeval Rainwood, this region bears the brunt of storms sweeping through from the Summer Sea, and is rich in timber, furs, amber, and fertile soil. Though since the reign of the incompetent Durrandon king [[Durwald the Fat]], most of the region has fallen away from the Storm Kings and are now under the influence of the mysterious [[Green Queen]], where many Stormmen houses pay greater heed to the words of this woods-witch rather than any missives from Storm's End. | The largest peninsula within the Stormlands, Cape Wrath juts out into the Narrow Sea, bordering Shipbreaker Bay, the Eastern Marches, the Sea of [[Dorne]], and encompassing the Estermont Isles.

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. But for a few the ancient traditions of [[Durran Godsgrief]], that of the primordial god-couple of [[God of the Sea and Goddess of the Sky|Sea and Sky]], still hang heavy in the minds of Houses [[House Crow|Crow]] and [[House Slayne|Slayne]] - to appease and | The men of Cape Wrath are a varied lot.
