● AEGIR SEA

In the north, the land is bordered by the rough, icy waters of the Aegir Sea—which most humans take pains to avoid. Countless sagas speak of sea monsters that lure boats to watery graves or assume human form and murder villagers in their sleep. Monsters aside, the waters themselves are treacherous, with towering sea stacks and jagged rocks lining the coast, often hidden by thick fog. The pillars are a maze of sea stacks perpetually shrouded in chilling mist, forming the most dangerous region of the coastal waters. Naturally, the Sitra—the most expert sailors of Iceberg, aided by runic navigation magic—call the pillars home.

● HARROGATH

Frigid seas lash against glacier-covered shores in the harsh region of Harrogath. Long ago, this region was ruled by dynasties of High Kings and Queens in a contorted web of alliances, vassal states, and mighty fortresses, but only the shadows of those glory days remain. Now, the fortresses are crumbling and half-buried in snow, and almost all the region's current inhabitants are undead. These zombies, known as Draugr, retain the intelligence and memories they had in life, and they give their allegiance to Stigr, the Last High King of Harrogath. Most, however, have long forgotten who they once were and mindlessly wander the cold.

● ODDR MOUNTAINS

The blizzard-wracked Oddr is no place for the meek to visit. The scouring winds tear at gear and skin alike; the frigid temperatures congeal the blood and generate a frosty deterrent to magic; ice sheets, as sharp as straight razors, slice up travelers and form blind cliffs in the constant blizzards. Bordering Harrogath, the barbarians situated here are in a constant state of warfare and deathly paranoid of outsiders. They are known for their lack of hospitality or reasoned discourse, practicing both surgery and diplomacy with axes.

● UDGARD WILDS

The unspoiled wilds of Udgard are marked only by the overgrown ruins of ancient giants and occasional crude wooden shelters built by trolls. The forest is a dense, primordial wood made up of towering trees and lush undergrowth. In one sacred site deep in the forest, a cluster of weathered standing stones is encircled by a ring of the largest, oldest trees in the region. These stones are believed to predate even the giants' long-lost civilization. The rocky highlands of the region are littered with boulders and broken ruins, including a number of crude cairns and barrows left by the ancient giants.

● SVARTMIRE

Svartmire contains vast tracts of marshland. Some of these are seasonal, flooding when the summer sun melts the snow and thaws the frozen ground, but others are permanent, turning to ice and slush in the colder seasons. The largest of these permanent swamps is the Svartmire. Svartmire houses brutal raiders that live in and around the swamps. They have built a network of pathways across the mire that are visible only to themselves. Outsiders quickly lose their way in the marsh or get mired in mud, making them easy prey for the prowling raiders.
