Ishtalet is a harsh island, barely inhabited by the people of the Moontide Isles. The land here is rough and rocky and barely manageable for farming. The only real settlements are on the shores, where trade from other isles can be obtained. No king claims Ishtalet as part of their land and it is only nominally considered by the High Queen. Most of those from Ishtalet are shunned by the Daoine of the other isles, and even the Northlanders avoid the isle--as there is no gain in raiding its meager settlements and the isle has a harsh reputation.
