The Grand North

the Grand North, as opposed to the Aulden North that lies further in the arctic circle surrounding the polar sea

the Grand North is made up towards the central and southwest of Upper Ruthannia, the royal colonies of Elder Ruthannia on the Oldarian continent, and from the southeast just north of the Estherian continent lie the monarchies of Nerthica, arguably themselves part of Estheria as well as the Grand North

Upper Ruthannia and Nerthica, both bordering the Shimmering Sea, act as buffers to Imperial Ossuria which lies in the vast and harsh wastes of the accursed Aulden North
