Fort Frostmoth was the first settlement in the land, until in 3E 427, the township of Raven Rock was founded. Compared to the north, Hirstaang is tame, containing some minor farmlands, outside the Raven Rock walls. The Hirstaang Forest consists of the southern half of Solstheim, and it is the center of the region's commerce, as the settlements of Raven Rock and Fort Frostmoth are found here. The Hirstaang Forest was obliterated in the Red Year, resulting in a barren Ashland. Minor islands are found on the water, a notable one is the Gyldenhul Barrow, the ancient burial tomb of the infamous Nordic pirate, Haknir Death-Brand. The mead hall is found on the other side of the region, on the shores of Lake Fjalding.

Much of the region has been used by the Skaal Tribe, from not only the village but the subsidiary settlement of the Thirsk Mead Hall, which was founded by a sub-group of the Skaal. The Felsaad Coast consists of the northeast of Solstheim, and it is the home of the native Nordic population, as the Skaal Village is located on the northeast bluffs. Gyldenhul Barrow is one of the many pirate coves found on Felsaad Coast.
