	The coastline itself is rocky with intimidating fjords, composed of narrow winding inlets running between the steep cliffs, leaving precious few spots that are accessible to ships. Much of the landscape is wild pasture grazed by vast herds of long-haired cattle or sheep, tended to by thralls. Every settlement on the coastline has a watchtower built of [[white granite]], some of which are fifty to sixty feet high. Each of the regions is ruled by a jarl, ready to call a [[Jotun#Warriors_of_the_Jotun\|fyrd]] if it is lost.

			==Rikskog==
			* '''Qualities:''' None
			West of Icewood, south of Skyfall, lies Rikskog. Heavily forested in the east, the region becomes flatter and more open as one travels westward. Thralls tend actual farms - though the Marchers scoff at the hardscrabble life that amounts to agriculture here. The soil is hard and cold, and most of the thralls focus on raising herd animals rather than trying to grow crops.

			There are also a large number of burial mounds here – noticeably more than the Imperial armies have encountered elsewhere in northern Jotun lands. The thralls barely cooperate with the Imperial soldiers, but share a few stories of the long-ago battles between the Jarls of Skallahn and Tromsa. It seems these two territories have not always been so closely allied, although the stories strongly imply that these conflicts ended before the fall of Terunael. These ancient battles may have explained the presence of Viheltavathorn; the hall of the Jarl of Rikskog was a heavily fortified tower surrounded by a small town. The fortification was destroyed by the invading Imperials in their pursuit of Mathilda Fisher.
			===Tromsdalen===
			West of Rikskog lies Tromsdalen. The region is rough and hilly, with perpetually snow-capped and cloud-wrapped mountains to the east. It is nestled between these high peaks, and the great Mount Majastind that lies in the centre of Tromsa. The mountains of Tromsdalen are part of the same range as [[Skallahn#Eyrarfell\|Eyrarfell]], and on their eastern edge stands the ''[[#Oksenesfestsal\|Oksenesfestsal]]'', a commanding [[fortification]] that also serves as the seat of the Jarl of Tromsa.
