After the destruction of their island-continent of Ys, the Aes Sídhe and Gwerin y Môr settled in the western-most lands of a vast landmass that they named Cailleach. At that time, many thousands of years ago, Cailleach was wild and unsettled. The Sídhe, Gwerin, Ddraig, and Drakeri found the lands to the far west to be very much like Ys.

Claen Gael is an independent territory located north of the Kingdom of Brydd and east of Tír Ceilte and The Burning Sea.

Sask is located in north-central Cailleach. It is an extremely mountainous land to the north of the Kingdom of Brydd. As of 1250, Sask is still governed by a collection of nobles who often squabble with one another and only present a united front against outsiders. The Saski do not take kindly to strangers or magic in any form!

Located to the south of Cailleach in the Velatian Sea, the Howling Islands are the primary home of a population of brigands, dragonslayers, pirates, and other criminals collectively known as the Howlers. The men and women are rough and vicious. Lives other than their own are held in low esteem unless they will fetch a good ransom. There are no pirate captains with a secret heart of gold.
