The Far North

"The Far North: where the men and women are as cold as the snow they live in." - Wren Londrek
The Far North is one of the major territories in Bahlmorea. It's known for its freezing climate, dense boreal and taiga-forests and towering snow capped mountains. It is the primary source of lumber for the city of Sidon as well as metals like iron and steel for the rest of the continent. The very upper end of the coast that borders the Northern sea or Sea of Ice, is not charted on many maps and is rarely explored by even the northerners themselves. Rumors of wild beasts like massive direwolves, werewolves, and sabercats that roam the lands make it more of a place of mystery than anything else. Snow priests and their northern callers occupy the far northern regions past Broke Helm Mountain, searching for anyone who's lost or trapped in the treacherous snow.

It is inhabited by many tribes who live outside of the king's jurisdiction, or control more specifically. They live in numerous and diverse groups that are nomadic-hunters, living closely to the land and follow their own cultures and customs that are unique to each tribe. However, most of them share one thing and common and it's that they refer to their land as Ashek or, "the land we share".

Geography
Lands that make up the Far North are nearly inhospitable, covered in snow almost all year round except in the  spring. Snow can reach up to twenty feet deep and therefore, many unfortunate travelers often disappear and never return. Temperatures often reach below freezing and rivers are nearly always frozen. Icy winds sweep over the mountain ridges, threatening to throw anyone over who isn't careful. Miles of ice sheets cover the northern sea shores, which are home to great white bears and spotted tusked sea lions.

The small peninsula, called Tus'lae "forsaken" by several tribes, located in the north east is uncharted territory due to its vicious blizzards and perilous craggy mountains and valleys.
