Frøsland, an island far, far to the north on Jaern, even intersecting part of the northern polar cap. The land is largely desolate, with less than two percent of it being suitable for agrarian needs during the end of spring and the summer months. (The moderate rainy season in Jaern times). Temperatures can range from the high 60’s during the peak of the summer months, to well below 0 in the winter months. Due to the natural currents of the oceans surrounding the island, the weather experiences a rubber banding effect, where it experiences extreme swings on a day to day basis. A typical day will see temperatures go from mid 50’s mid afternoon, to low 10’s at night. The extreme swings in temperature also result in frequent snowstorms, also creating feedback loops that keep the temperatures low. | Frøsland, an island far, far to the north on Jaern, even intersecting part of the northern polar cap.

- | Tribalism is common between the cities, and as one amasses people and wealth, its not uncommon for another city to hear of its good fortune and lay siege to it. Alas however, this does create a cycle of wealth just moving from city to city, and never truly working in a way to prosper the people. | + | |
- | Battles on the battlefield are common, as are basic skirmishes between each city. Full blown wars however, are rare. The battles are mostly seen as proxy battles, to limit the damage done to the other cities' | + | Tribalism is common between the cities, and as one amasses people and wealth, its not uncommon for another city to hear of its good fortune and lay siege to it.

- | Slavery is problematically common, with about ⅓ of any given population of a city being made up of slaves. The slave population is mostly made up of criminals, prisoners of war, and descendants of imported slaves. T’or had an intervention in the past, on behalf of the slaves of Frøsland, and set ground rules. Since then, these laws have been set in stone, sometimes literally, and there have been less issues overall. | + | |
