The North

The North is a large landmass north of The Midlands. Apart from southern Carpathia, it's largely inhospitable, and mostly inhabited by the Hrafnir. The North is generally considered the most dangerous of the known continents, due to both its climate, inhabitants, and savage fauna.

Environment
Most of The North consists of large empty wastelands known as The Frozen Wastes. At the far north, nothing lives or grows, though it gets increasingly less frigid the further south one travels. At the very south lies Carpathia, which is closer to the climate of The Midlands. Dividing the two is an area known as The Belt, which is a large mountain range which serves to further isolate The Frozen Wastes from the rest of The Mortal Realm.

Inhabitants
The North serves as the ancestral home to the Hrafnir, and was not settled until they fell there from the heavens. The Raní have villages situated around the southern parts of Carpathia. Some enterprising grongs have set up grong caves in the mountains of The Belt, with varying success. There are also some minor Laochran clans in Carpathia.

Generally speaking, life in The North is very different from life in The Midlands. The land is harsh and inhospitable, and entirely impossible to farm further north. The beasts of The North are larger and fiercer than those further south, and The Carpathian Forest is brimming with gods and Wild Things.
