Amon Aerrych

Amon Aerrych (S."Hill of Seals") was a small  islet opposite the cliffs of Ras Morthil in Andrast.The islet was  so called  because it was frequented by seals  and was  an important navigational reference point for captains attempting to negotiate the  perilous waters of the cape.The narrow strair between Amon Aerrych and Ras Morthil was,  in  fact,  one of the few safe passages  into the  Ulond  and many ship captains preferred to brave it,  rather than face the deadly shoals that extended west of Amon  Aerrych.
