Island of Sea Hawks

The island of sea hawks is a island that was created for a couple of fan-characters that live in the world created in the Redwall books. For the most part, it is inhabited mainly by marsh mice and sea hawks (Ospreys) that co-exist in an unnatural symbiotic relationship.

Location
The island is several miles from the mainland, but in the past it had been a common stopping ground for pirates. However since the sea hawks moved in, it seems like only the good ships stop in to rest which the marsh mice greatly appreciate. The fortress of Salamandastron can be seen in the distance from the eastern cliffs, assumed to be simply a mountain by the islanders.

Physical Characteristics
While the island is relatively small, only seven miles long and five across, that is still pretty big for the mice and sea hawks that call it home. There are cliffs all along the northern end that stretch down most of the eastern cliffs. The southern part of the island is a vast salt marsh, from which the mice originated. On the eastern coast is a bay, known as Lantern Port, for the lanterns that light it day and night. There is a small village near the bay, but the most remarkable structure lies in the center of the island. The heart of the island is woodlands where the sea hawks nest in good weather. With the help of their friends, the marsh mice built a wood and stone building as shelter from the seasonal storms that often plagued the island. It was named Mousetalon in honor of the bond between the mice and the sea hawk, all were welcome as long as they vowed not to fight while they remained inside.

Mousetalon Hall
Mousetalon is a remarkable place, inspired by tales of a red-stone building in the forests of the mainland. It is a refuge for both islanders and travelers in times of storms and danger. The building is made of clay and sand bricks hardened over a fire.
