The Middle Isles
The Middles Isles are made up of 3 main islands, the largest being known as the big middle. These three islands are home to numerous small neutral ports which are key to commerce across the Western Oceans. The neutral ports of the Middle isles were colonized by refugees, merchants and mercenaries from many lands. The Middle isles have been claimed by many powers, but remain contested after numerous rebellion's chased Sierrese forces from the island.
Geography
The Big Middle is rocky and green, but devoid of any significant wildlife or forests. Its mineral resources are scarce, and it can only support small ports in a few sheltered bays. The islands high cliffs make it difficult to land on or invade.
History
The Middle Isles have a melting pot culture of their own, created from many waves of newcomers and passer-byes. The political neutrality of the Middle Isles also has a significant effect on local laws and rulership, which is highly anarchical in nature. The locals of these islands don't take kindly to others bringing conflicts into the ports; weapons are not to be carried in public, and ships who fire cannons near the islands are hunted down by local volunteer warships.
