Sparwood

Sparwood was a continent located in the most eastern reaches of Rathnir and was the largest singular landmass on Rathnir. It was among Rathnir's most diverse and culturally expansive regions. Known for its frosty climate and freezing cold weather, it contains the only two ice mega-biomes in all of Rathnir which was known as the Palaris Tundra. The mountains which rise from its plains towers over the many cities and settlements located down below, casting a shadow over the lowlands below. Glacial meltwater from the ice fields and mountains led to the slow formation of a marshy swampland below known as Vindivegg. Sparwood was well known across Rathnir for its instability, nicknamed by some as the "Graveyard of Nations". 
Sparwood was also known for its anomalous diversity of biomes also including warmer biomes such as taigas, savannas and deserts primarily in the Southern Peninsula of Sparwood (also known as Sparwood Minor). Sparwood's expansive history reaches back to before the fall of the ancient continent of Jagdas and includes many historically important events which were vital in the set up of the political landscape of Rathnir as a continent.
