Hesten is located on the south tip of the Frostpeak penninsula. The city looks out over the cliffs of the penninsula, being located 30 meters above sealevel, while being surrounded by large spruce forests inland. 
=== Climate ===
It is always snowy in Hesten, with the black tile roofs being covered by a thick layer of snow all year round. Temperatures vary between -10 to -15 in the summers and -20 to -50 in the winter. Only thick spruce trees grow there, which are constantly submerged in the snow. The river that draws the southern border is frozen all year, which makes iceskating and ice hockey popular sports in Hesten.
=== Biodiversity ===
Due to the artic climate few species of plants and animals live in Hesten. The most notable species are the Riveri snowfox and the southern artic bear, as well as the Halinn redspruce and common spruce. Hesten counts a few species of birds, such as the snow owl and the Halinn hawk, who differentiates from the normal hawk by having feathers around its feet and claws. Wolfs also live in the forests of Hesten, and a large pack of cats that escaped into the wild.
