Stirk Isle is a large tropical island located within the Abecean Sea, off the western coast of Cyrodiil. The island's tropical climate is typified by mostly sunny days with the occasional overcast or rainy day, though larger tropical storms are not unheard of either. The region encompasses the entirety of the island of Stirk and several small islets near the island as well as the waters of the Abecean immediately surrounding those islands. The nearest mainland regions are the Strident Coast and Brennan Bluffs the the east in Cyrodiil, the Scarlet Washes and Hew's Bane to the north in Hammerfell, and Meditea to the south in Valenwood, while the neighboring island of Stros M'kai lies not to far to the west.
Despite the island's location along major trade routes that connect Cyrodiil to neighboring Hammerfell, Valenwood, and Summerset, Stirk has largely remained a provincial backwater of the empire. Though the island sees a fair bit of trade from the ships which frequently to stop at the town of Stirk's port, the island's rocky environs have resulted in the island being left mostly undeveloped. Rather, Stirk is mostly known for its fishing exports such as the Abecean Longfin, a delicacy famed for it's exceptional taste.
As a result of it's rural status, numerous flora and fauna species can be found across the island. Mooncrabs can be found on the shores of both Stirk and it's many islets, while beasts such as Weald Goats, Donkeys, Rats, Colovian Wolves, Bears and Goblins can be found roaming the mountainous interior of the island. Fish such as the aforementioned Abecean Longfin, Slaughterfish, Spearmouths, and Stridfish abound in the waters surrounding the island, while Lamia and Dreugh are not uncommon sights either. Flora found on the island include several species of trees, including yucca and palm trees, as well as smaller bushes and herbaceous plants; Aloe Vera, Blood Lilies, Goldenrod, Lady's Mantle, Spike Rice, St. Jahn's Worts, Tiger Lilies, and Trinity Plants are all common on the island.
