The Frigid North



The Frigid North is known for its chilling climate that has dissuaded many traders and adventurers from exploring its lands. The people who lived here have worked together to survive many harsh winters. However, a recent militaristic behavior from YueDe, the main island of the Artic Span, has caused great tension.

Geography


The Frigid North is surrounded by the Artic Span, a treacherous frozen ocean with strong underwater currents. Most of the land is bare, filled with tundras and mountainous steppes. Most days are filled with blizzard conditions with snow drifts up to twenty feet high. There is a series of active volcanoes in the Frigid North that serve as a hub of warmth for the native denizens.

The Moon Island, YueDe, located in the center of the Frigid North, enjoys a temperate climate with four seasons.

From the southeast of the Frigid North, an overhang of ashen clouds creep over the landscape. In the night, a crimson glow seems to emanate from the horizon.
