The Northern Isles

A small group of islands. Tucked up against the polar ice cap, they are entirely frozen. There is a small population who seemed to be hardier than most against the cold. The locals live within small family groups and everything done is towards the survival of the family. It is incredibly rare for any locals to travel beyond these shores as most families have need of every able body to survive in such a harsh environment. 

The people here believe they live with the spirits and that it is through respecting the spirits that you prosper. Each member of a family must provide and it is with this in mind that they are named. A child will receive their first name at the age of 2, once they have survived the often fatal first two years in the frozen wastes, but will only gain their true name upon their coming of age, at which their family elder will grant them a name that embodies their traits and worth to their family.
