Carpathia

Carpathia is a large region that covers most of the southern parts of The North. It serves as the meeting point between The North and the rest of the Mortal Realm, and as such has attracted a large numbers of traders and fortune seekers.

Environment
Although quite warm in comparison to the frozen wastelands that cover most of The North, Carpathia is still very cold and humid. Thick fog covers the woods and heaths from evening to midday, and cold rainstorms often come blowing in from further north. Although it isn't strictly speaking any darker than the rest of The North, the thick Carpathian Forest tends to blot out the sun, and so there is little light to be found even during the day, unless one finds a way above the treeline.

Inhabitants
Carpathia marks the farthest north any laochran clans have settled. They came with eldritch and leprechaun merchants, seeking to establish relations with the Hrafnir. Although you'll find most of the races in Carpathia, very little of it is properly settled, and you could easily walk for weeks without meeting another intelligent being. Only the Hrafnir truly belong here, and even the local laochran clans often find themselves at odds with their surroundings.

The Carpathian Forest is Chrainn's home, and serves as home to Wild Things in greater numbers than anywhere else in the Mortal Realm. At night they come out of the woods to revel under the moonlight, and anyone caught within their revels is never seen again.
