Harstrom

Harstrom is an icy northern continent that encompasses the north pole. Its a rough, mostly uninhabitable territory comprised of many different tribes and kingdoms.

Geography
Harstrom is divided into three areas: the southern ice sheets, the Icefeilds, and the mountain range leading to the north pole known as "the claws of Akna."

The Southern Ice Sheets
the southern ice sheets exist for the 8 winter months of the year, and during Late May, June, July, and August they're melted away. This makes it so the port and trade cities of the continent are only open for a limited amount of time, making anything from the continent pretty rare. Many inhabitants spend the winter months in this area ice fishing.

The Icefeilds
Harstrom is harsh forests and tundra with small trees and feilds built to survive the climate. Most villages and cities are somewhere in the icefeilds

Raniga
The largest city in Harstrom, a predominantly dwarf and human city on the southernmost part of the icefeilds.

The Claws of Akna
The tallest peaks in the world. Many people die attempting to explore this place, and it remains mostly uninhabited.

History
Harstrom has never been conquered outside of its original inhabitants, as it is too cold for any army to survive 8 months of the year. The kingdoms there have remain divided and often war with each other.

Politics
The politics of Harstom are very localized, organized into tribes lead by chieftains.
