Argony

Island of sheep

This article is a stub. Please comment if you would like it to become a priority for expansion.
  Argony is a mid-sized island in the Grey Waters, stretching about thirty miles at its widest point. It is mostly flat, covered in wild grasses and rocks, and has quite a windy climate. There are no trees on the island, so the Argonish have adapted to a woodless existence. There are more sheep on the island than there are humans.   The island is currently under the rule of Serukis; the Argonish give regular taxes in the form of goods such as textiles and meat, as much of the island still operates under a barter system and rarely uses coin.

I'd imagine that having a sheep-centric lifestyle could result in some breeds of sheep being 'created' for certain resources. I'm also interested in seeing how the sheep would have developed over time to cope with the windy climate.

Yes. I'm looking forward to designing some sheep breeds! :D

Without wood as a resource, fishing must be limited - do they still fish off the shore, and maybe have a few fishing vessels made from imported wood?

I don't think fishing would be a main food source, but they would forage for shellfish/crabs etc along the shoreline/rockpools.
