The Lands Around Storm's End

[Lord Oswyn Baratheon]

The lands around Storm's End are alternating fields and large stretches of rocky terrain. If razed, the fields would leave little forage, and the rocky terrain is too rough to use for cover, leaving an attacker exposed to siege weapons mounted on the castle's wall. There are small copses of trees from which lumber could be cut, allowing besieging forces to construct towers and ladders, but the rough land around the base of the castle would make placing such devices while under defensive fire a bloody proposition.
