Snowdown
Island in Moonshae Isles · the Forgotten Isle
Snowdown is the most temperate and fertile of the Moonshae Isles, isolated from the others and long occupied by Amn.
Rolling farmland and good roads give way to moors and rugged mountains, and the winter storms that batter the other isles mostly pass it by.

Overview
Snowdown is relatively isolated from the rest of the Moonshaes and so is sometimes called the Forgotten Isle. It has the mildest climate of the islands, good for farming, with rolling hills, good roads, mountains and moors, and several dozen small settlements.
Amn seized and occupied the island for decades, ruling from Caer Westphal, until the Amnians were driven out.
