The hard rock fortress Resentment sits high on the cliff far from the sea. From this height the flat blue of the see looks impenetrable. A diver would be smashed against the water falling from this height.
It’s a long rocky walk from the sea to Resentment. Travelers pass mounds, circles, cottages, and castles of rock. The structures look like freshly built ruins. Walls are reinforced. The only greenery grows in the cracks, yellow-green moss with tiny white blossoms.
Seabirds peck at moss in the rock walls and eat the insects hiding inside.
A Stalwart pile of rocks sits behind the fortress Resentment. Rock houses sit closely beside each other, forming a wall. Water trickles from stone fountains.
A fleet of grey ships wait near the shore. The sailors stare up at those stone steps.
They carry boxes of goods up the rocky path and then the long set of stone steps to the fortress entrance.
A stone monster lives in the rock caves in the cliffs. He feats on any sailor who stumbles and steals what he likes for his cave and throws the rest of the wares into the sea.
The denizens of Stalwart never know what is missing or where to find it.
