Stormhold is one of the inner islands, northeast of the Maelstrom. It is compassed in the north by the Sea of Storms, in the south by the Long Channel, and to the west by the Race (so-called for the speed of the current as the Sea of Storms empties into the Maelstrom). The closest major islands are Narn and Nord to the south; Kordahar and Nau Salu to the east; Vallbok to the north; and Golgodda to the west.

A marshy isthmus connects this largest area with a smaller land to the east. The smallest region, in fact, an island that lies within the horns of the crescent, separated from the main island by a curling sound, known as The Hook.
