Tír Skjold

Tír Skjold (Shield Land), so named for the fact that the northern third of the island is entirely mountainous, the crescent-shaped range forming a shield against whatever comes from the north, is home to four clans.

Other than the moutain shield in the north, the land here is relatively flat, and quite arrable. Tír Skjold is the primary source of grain for the entirety of the Southern Archipelago. The fír suthr of this island are the most open to strangers, having found a great deal of wealth and stability through trade. Their proximity to, and longheld friendship (perhaps truce would be the most accurate description) with, the folk of Tír Arnbjorn ensure that they are rarely raided by the other islands.

Despite this, the folk of Tír Skjold are renowned fighters, noted for keeping cooler heads in battle than their kin, and flexibile strategies on the field of battle, or so the stories have noted.
