Nortrol

Also known as ’The Land of Fire and Ice’. A dramatic landscape of active volcanoes, glaciers and hot springs, almost half the country is submerged beneath the permanent polar ice cap. Much of the island is at the mercy and whim of the thaw, and few souls are brave enough to inhabit here, mostly hunters and mineral miners. Only the southern edge of the island is truly habitable, and the populace live almost entirely in the chain of settlements that have grown up on the fjords. The hardier Trolls live in the Ice Caves to the north. 

The people that live in this remote and hazardous climate are hardy and have learnt to enjoy life as a fleeting thing. Whether death by Troll, Orc raid, winter storms or volcanic action the average life expectancy is one of the lowest in Urdd. Each denizen of this land strives to create and make something of their lives, abhorring inaction as a waste of a limited lifespan.
