Irrisen

Irrisen (pronounced IHR-ih-sehn) is a harsh, cold northern land covered in the snow and ice of a winter that has lasted centuries. The snow never melts, and almost as omnipresent as the snow and ice, is the feeling of dread that pervades the nation, for as harsh and unforgiving as the land is, it is nothing compared to those who rule it. The land has traditionally been governed by the White Witches of Irrisen, descendants of the terrible crone Baba Yaga. All the White Witches are obedient to their queen, who is traditionally a daughter of Baba Yaga, although the current queen Anastasia is Baba Yaga's granddaughter and the first of the line to not be a winter witch herself.
