Obrozima

Overview

Often called an uninhabitable wasteland, the people of Obrozima take pride in their nation. It’s often said that if one could live in Obrozima, one could live anywhere. Though this statement is an obvious exaggeration, some truth lives in the sentiment the farther one travels North. Despite the cruel frozen skies of the north, stories of barbarians are muttered in hush tones, depicting fearsome men that prey on weary travelers. Most of these stories go unverified, and the northern wildmen remain mostly legend.

Geography

The province itself spans vast amounts of land. However, there are only a few pockets of civilization which is mostly located to the south.
