Vaskery Wilds
Current Month: Julwar 2nd: 209, The Fifth Age
A wide range of frost lands, plains, and mountains to the north of The Gap, it is a mostly uncivilized land. Though many have tried to tame these wilds in the past, the many tribes of minotaurs, Orcs, dragonlings, and Scranc make these prospects short endeavors.
The climate of Vaskerry, though harsh overall, varies from cool (maritime) temperate around the Gap, to cold temperate around the Varundian Fjords, and to subarctic at the Septon Circle.
The lands south of the Fjords leading to the Gap are almost as fertile as the Lands to the south, and are the most agriculturally productive region of the Vaskerry Wilds. The coasts at the Gap itself are filled with swamps. Snowfall generally increases as one moves north.
The Tribes of Vaskery open sail across the Gap to raid the soft southlanders for gold, goods, and womenfolk. Nations bordering the gap tend to have strong coastal defenses to counter these raids.
Many years before the second fall, a few tribes of Vaskery set sail to explore the far southern side of the world. They eventually founded the Soutlands, the far southern pole, and settled there, though, they eventually developed their own cultural traditions and tribes.
