The Known World

Sisterton

town · Seat of House borrell

Port town on the isle of Sweetsister, chief settlement of the Three Sisters in the Bite. Its crooked streets smell of pig and fish, and its harbor has sheltered smugglers, wreckers, and honest traders alike since before the Sistermen bent the knee to the Vale.

Breakwater Castle

Above the harbor squats Breakwater, castle of House Borrell, its walls of grey stone rising from the rocks that shelter the port. From its hall the Lords Borrell rule Sweetsister and give grudging fealty to the Sunderlands, and through them to the Eyrie.

The Night Lamp

At the harbor's mouth burns the Night Lamp, a lighthouse kept to guide ships past the rocks of the Sisters. In older, darker days the Sistermen were wreckers who lit false lights to lure ships to ruin, and there are those who whisper the old trade has never wholly died.
