Region - Jarjall

JARJALL

A land of icy fields and hard tundra, mountain ranges and cold, gray skies are all part of the Jarjall geography. It is a land filled with dangerous people and predators, where much of the life that can be found in its frozen hills lives only to take life from another. Wolves, mountain cats and fierce bears hunt the frozen ranges and thick woods, more than capable of killing entire hunting parties unprepared for their savagery. Stories of monstrous beasts and dark legends waiting in the icy wastes for foolish travelers are told around crackling campfires, many of which have been proven true time and time again. In Jarjall, if the weather and the terrain do not claim you, something else likely will.
