The Appen Peninsula is a cold, northern region that has struggled economically in recent years, but has a strong tradition of hard work and industry.
Major cities:
Eiar – a fishing town at the mouth of the Ribbon River; a center of manufacturing and industry in more recent years, they have become a primary source of materials and equipment for the Messembrian military
Orlo – an industrial and fishing town on the Orlan Isthmus, known for its trade schools and vocational education, but it has fallen on hard economic times in the last decade or two
Rill – a beautiful but cold town, surrounded by mountains, forests, and rivers
Eastport – the primary port between Messembria and Andalus, home to an undersea hyperloop tunnel that is still in use but is not well maintained, as Andalus traders prefer to ship goods by sea
Major rivers: the Ribbon River flowing towards Eiar, the Ilkut River flowing toward the Andric Ocean, the Crystal River that curls around Rill, the Ebon River in the northwest, and the Ivory River in the northeast.
Icefang Mountains: While not the tallest mountains in Messembria, they are still formidable and cold, particularly due to their location in the far north. Along the coastlines they form fjords, which can be quite lovely in the summer. This region is sparsely populated due to its climate and distance from the rest of Messembria, but those who live there are fiercely devoted to their homeland.
