The Jade Lands

The frozen, snowy tundras of the North, home to the Goliath

Geography

The Jade Lands is a vast open expanse of rolling snowy hills, frozen tundra, and frosty wastelands - only the hardiest and most durable of creatures can survive in the far north.

Ecosystem

The ecosystem of the Jadelands is one where only the strongest survive - every beast and animal that lives here in bigger, stronger, and more deadlier than others of its ilk. Additionally, only the hardiest and stronger beasts can claim dominance in the snowy wastes, so many apex predators are found here as well, from the towering, blisteringly hot Remorhazes that burrow through the ice and snow to the massive wyverns and other dragon-adjacent wyrms.
Most of these predators rely on a combination of the odd traveler, the scarce natives, and the herds of animals that come up from the bowl prairies on a yearly basis - making it a dangerous place to traverse.

Localized Phenomena

Blizzards are incredible common in the Jade Lands, as is the Aurora Borealis - making it a deadly but beautiful place.
