Frozen North

At the furthest reaches of The Northland, beyond the Winterpeak Mountains, lies a region known as the Frozen North. It is a desolate wasteland, and is covered in ice and snow year-round. The air is freezing, the wind is always howling, and blizzards happen nearly every day. Combine these horrible conditions with the fact that the only known inhabitants of this region are evil frost giants and deadly monsters and it becomes clear why only a handful of expeditions have been sent northward by Haven, and why even fewer ever returned.

Because the area is so alien and unknown, it has often been the subject of many legends. Some say that the ice and wind were the doings of an evil wizard. Others say that beyond the snow there is a paradise. Still others say that living somewhere out in the icy hills is an ancient race with untold magical powers. Many civilian expeditions have gone north in pursuit of the things these stories may promise, from magic powers to treasure, but none have found success.
