Hogstone

Hogstone is a large island in the centre of the Thousand Island Archipelago. It was home to the Steiner Dynasty of kings, the Guardians of Hogstone, and the Sekken Steiner until 419, when the city was sacked by the Mutt Clan and both The king and the Guardians were killed, with the Sekken Steiner plundered.

The people of Hogstone are a seafaring people, fishing the seas and mining surrounding islands. There are fewer than 20 people left in the town, most of whom are farmers, but a few artisans and tradesman survived, and are attempting to rebuild their livelihoods.

The vast iron mine reserves that lay within the crumbling town walls beneath Hogstone Keep remain, and were seen as an easy target for marauding sea-raiders and the armies of the smaller surrounding islands. Before the new Guardians of Hogstone took up residence, Ranulph gathered the people together and they hid within the secret passages of Hogstone Keep, but since the successful defence against raiders from the Greyship clan, the island is no longer as vulnerable as it was.
