Overview

A harsh province of snowy mountains and frozen lakes, the people of Norfjall are as hardened as the land they call home. Mostly composed of nomadic tribes, there are a few centralized villages and cities, including the capital, located along the southern border. Living in such a hostile environment has given rise to many legends of gods, both heroic and villainous. It is the strong that survive within these lands.
