The Greater North
Wahrheim is a large continent in the northern hemisphere of the world. Its people live between said ocean at the east and south, mountains to the north, with an unknown part of the continent cut off by the Eternal Storm… a solid wall of howling wind, snow, and ice that even cuts off large parts of ocean travel. Anyone attempting to pass through the Eternal Storm disappears forever, though most are visibly ripped to shreds and/or frozen before even making it ten steps.
Along the border created by the Eternal Storm is the Wall… an ancient stone barrier that has been around as long as human recorded history on the continent. The king maintains a small contingent of guards all along the Wall to monitor for any change in the Eternal Storm and to combat the occasional monsters that wander out of the stormlands.
Very little of Wahrheim experiences what could properly be called “summer-like” conditions at any time of the year, but some parts are reasonably temperate. In keeping with Wahrheim society’s preference for challenge and hardship, however, its capital city of Aufruhr is situated to the northeast, where cold winds from both mountains and sea keep it in a near-constant state of winter, no matter the time of year.
