Barren Belt

The Barren Belt are a collective of Islands sitting below the mainland, separated by a body of water called the Long Strait. The Islands lie in the Boiling Sea, stretching from west, south-west and south of Bram to south of Greatgreen, and Ramearl.

History
The islands have never been inhabited by people, at least not for long periods of time.

Mykael's 'mapping parties ventured to the lands circa 937. In their log books, the explorers described the land as "barely inhabitable". No recorded efforts were made to settle in the lands.

Most often sailors use the islands as places of rest before sailing to the mainland, or to stop and make repairs to their ships.

During the War of the Red Waters, King Renyel used all seventeen islands as bases for his naval vessels.

Geography
The main grouping of islands number seventeen, with the largest eleven carrying the names Wayk, Weth, Troth, Bent, Dunn, Grot, Bukk, Yort, Dall, Fynn and Moss.

Most of the islands are described as small to decent is size. The total combined area of the islands is said to be greater than the area of Bram.

The most fertile islands are Wayk, Troth, Bent and Fynn, possessing ninety per cent of the grass found on the islands. The remaining islands consist mostly of stony soil and rocks.
