Wintermark territories

Wintermark lies in the north-west of the Empire. It is significantly colder than the lands around the Bay of Catazaar, marked by high peaks, rolling tundra and great freshwater lakes. The four territories are scattered with settlements and criss-crossed by a network of watchtowers and beacons that allow the Winterfolk to maintain vigilance against barbarian attacks. Many of these beacons are isolated, but halls have sprung up around several of them, often taking their names from the beacons or watchtowers they protect.

The wilderness between halls is often trackless, but there are many well-known routes between settlements. The land is known for it's natural beauty; while it is cold, it is by no means an arctic wasteland. In summer particularly the plains and woodlands of Wintermark teem with animal life. It is a hardy land, however, that breeds hardy men and women. It is also a prosperous land - there is a great deal of hunting, fishing, herding. agriculture, mining and trade between halls and the rest of the Empire.

While three of the four territories are viewed as the "spiritual home" of one of the three peoples, all WInterfolk are welcome in all territories. While the halls of Kallavesa tend to have more Kallavesi members than Suaq or Stienr, it is a rare hall that consists only of folk from one of the three peoples.
