Grarjord, the northernmost province of Etharis, is a land
of pines, tundras, glaciers, and the forbidding cold. To
survive, the warring Valikans must fight not just each
other but the unforgiving environment, rampaging
elementals, and the ongoing threat of coldfire.
Since the Schism, the six Valikan Clans have been
divided into two nations: Thrull and Kandar. Both of
these factions are in a deadlock for control of Grarjord.
Landscape
The six clans of the Valikan subsist in one of the
harshest regions in the world.
The southernmost part of Grarjord is still
temperate, holding vast pine forests bounded by
snow-covered mountains. Beyond the forests
stretches the tundra known as the Pale March.
Minor tribes survive here, hunting reindeer and
other wild game.
At the northern edge of the Pale March lies a
restless ice sea where dwell leviathans and other
deadly creatures. Further northeast, closest to
the North Pole, is Volgen, a frozen land where
originates a strange and deadly phenomenon
known as coldfire. In recent years, the coldfire
crisis has connected Volgen to the mainland via
an icy land bridge.
