Military -Each man from age's 12-20 is taught basic combat and how to man a ship on board a crew. 
3,000 sailors/marines- These men are some of the best the isles has to offer they are skilled in melee,ranged combat and can even hold a ship together.
1,500 Longbowmen- These men have some skill when fighting in melee however they are meant for long range combat such as why they are used on ships to kill off enemy crewmen before the enemy get in range with crossbowmen. 
1,500 swordsmen- These men are the backbone of the army/marines they are first ones off when boarding ships and tend to have some knowledge in the workings of a ship so they can capture enemy galleys and such and use them in a fight.
100 Elite Guardsmen- The personnel entourage and and crew men of King James Conrad each man has it's part each working like a cog in the machine to fulfill a role.
200 siege operators- These men know the workings of a ship and how to use catapults and are battlefield engineers when on land. While they are few they tend to be the largest and strongest of the islanders. Also some of the most loyal.
100 Longships- These are fast moving raiding ships they can hold 50 crew along with 30 or so soldiers. Only half are fully controlled by the conrads. The others are owned by merchants or sellswords however they do often join in battle with the Conrads for the safe Haven they provide.(100 longships owned by sellswords and mercenaries that would be more then likely to join the conrads in battle.)
50 Galleys- These ships are much larger and better for long combat. They also go into battle first. While these ship also aren't directly controlled by conrads they tend to have a conrad captain or first mate to help advise in battle. They also tend to have a siege weapon them them such as a catapult or ballistic.(100 mercenary ships are available and would more then likely join the conrads in battle.)
5 Personalized War Galleys- Aside from King's James personnel Vessel there is also Luke's own ship,Jaime's ship, Julius's ship and The Kraken It was House Kraken own ship before they were killed now it is kept at the capital as a reminder.These ships each have unique attachments to them that are used for the battles on the waves. These ships also tend to have a siege weapon on them from a ballistic to a catapult.
300 Trade Ships- While none of these are controlled by the conrads but instead lead by the merchant's and trade companies setup on the isle's they do pay tax to have a shipping license and if needed can always be turned into battleships. While they wouldn't be the best or fastest in war you sometimes need to make do.

Landscape:The Landscape on the northern and capital island from the coast is rather beautiful and almost removed from normal society. However the ports are always busy and some cities are republicly owned by rich men who do serve the Shark King (James). Inside the island is half and half some parts are untouched by man and used to hunt wild game. The other is heavily mined and built on to be secured by lords or rich men.

The Southern isle is far more untouched by man with one or 2 ports going directly to the northern isle. The inside of said island however is much more destroyed and mined over.

Wildlife:Northern Island:Many normal wild animals. Plenty of fish to catch for food and such. Southern Island:Some Deer and Boars remain with hawks and such able to fly over the towns,castles and ports.

History: The Isle of men was not always ruled by the conrads. They used to belong to the Kraken Horde. A large Band of raiders who pillaged and plundered the main land for long time.Year and years went by. Unlike much of the mainland the isles were almost untouched by dragons due to how small they were and useless. As stated before the Kraken Horde raided the mainland coast stealing women,children and any food they could get there hands onto. Years after the dragons were killed the men of mainland set sail to find the horde and came across the 2 island fortresses. Horde Conrad at the time saw they were outnumbered and out gunned. He and a few of the other hordes revolted and attacked Kraken Horde Hold. The capital of the nation. It took 6 months for the siege of the southern isle. The head of the horde died on the field however his family was at the small northern keep. Kelen Conrad knowing he didn't want his rule challenged sailed north. It was a 2 month journey and 4 month siege before the hold was taken and Horde Kraken killed. All except James Grand Mother Lily. The newly established House Conrad was awarded a sword named the Wave. The faithfully pledged allegiance to the Phoenix Lord but kept to there own ways. They followed the religion of Sea God and the Grave Master. The Sea God is worshipped so that they are given a safe journey over the water. The Grave Master watches over those fallen at sea. The Isles of men any religion as well as any religion practice is allowed up to and including necromancy. As immigrant arrived they brought new sources of technology and House Conrad being the holder of the metals greatly advanced in wealth and status. It wasn't until James's Father Nelo that they allowed merchants from other places to mine metals so long as they payed the mining fee and ship holders fee. While House Conrad is generous to it's citizens they tend to disregard those on the mainland. 
 
Strengths:Great Seaman and honorable to their lords the Conrads. With the Island only being recently discover many ores are untouched so they can be mined and sold while most area on the mainland have gone somewhat dry. It's houses are loyal and respect the Conrads they always offer services whenever needed. Merchants tend to become if not out right nobels very close to the King so they get great benefits as such paying the army and navy isn't that hard. Most Lords tend to make there own personally designed ships to be as fast as the longships and yet as strong as a normal war galley. The isles have the most raw resources of the land.

Weaknesses:With the islands being mined and destroyed food is somewhat scarce and fishing can only go so far so they must trade with mainlanders for food and drinks and other basic necessities. Being long ships they aren't great for long combat at sea. With the island being recently discovered they are out teched in most ways and it took a year long war till they official joined the Kingdom. Being that the isles have different culture and allow all religions it's often at odds with other houses.

The Southern Isles are a somewhat fertile desert land known for it's trade and far different religion where they hope to get a grand winter rather then a Long Summer.Not much is known about them from mainlanders however in the days of yore when the KrakenHorde raided the coastline they needed someone to sell to and that is where they met the southern islanders. These people rule with a council of 23 For the 23 merchant cities each ruled by their own merchant lord and each with it's own specialty from magic,to clothes to materials such as wood or stone and gem. From those 23 one house is selected as Merchant King of Osis. Osis is the largest city at the center of the land it is also named after the god of winter. The Desertmen tend to ignore those on the mainland. They only ever dealed with the krakenhorde when the city states were first starting up and need the supplies. Now they remain in contact with House Conrad alone and will ignore outside less House Conrad Vouches for them. They even sealed this deal when the ruling merchant of Osis had his daughter married to James Conrad. The Merchants are honorable men and will uphold any deal they have between themselves and House Conrad. They tend to have first pick on things from the isles of men and is why so many merchants have arrived in Sea Born land.
