Babblestone a fishing isle north of New Warrick. See the Atlas of the Middle Isles.
Battle of the Broken Spears occurred after the Widge had defeated the Gaohund people and had driven them to the Waning Islands in the 9000s. Once off the continent, most Gaohund thought the Widge would relent, but when they pursued them to the fourth island in the chain, the Gaohund knew it was a war of extermination. On southern Kaiwitz, in July of 9071, Coohey urged them to turn about and make a stand. There amid the rocks known as the Broken Spears, they inflicted such a defeat on the Widge that they were left alone for almost two hundred years. Historians often credit Coohey with saving the Gaohund from extinction. For its location, see the Atlas of the Western Isles

and a county of Irin. It was not densely populated, and those that live here are mostly fisherfolk. See the Atlas of Irin and Surrounding Isles.
Breston Academy was the central learning establishment of the Gaohund. The buildings of Breston rose from a low, expansive hill, its slopes slightly steeper on the southern side than the north. Its white buildings rose in height as the hill did, until in the exact center of that almost spherical mound, the tallest and largest structure stood - a circular edifice topped with an immense shallow dome of pink granite. "That's the areola," Thomas told her. The Academy's architecture has tall glass, reminiscent of both a greenhouse and a cathedral. It was gray in tones, so that it matches the Eldar palette. Statues, also gray, remind one of the past. The rebels will smash both glass and statues. See the Atlas of the Middle Isles.
Brick was one of the Middle Islands. Its chief industry was originally brick, made from the rich sedimentary deposits there, but also fine ceramics. See the Atlas of the Middle Isles.
