Obietnica

Making up the Northern part of the centre continent, Obietnica experiences a higher altitude and depth into the Northern hemisphere. Thus, this plateau experiences harsh cold temperatures throughout the year. The harshest period to be visiting and a time where few travel through the country is Imber Tenebris as the storms and the dark make it nigh impossible to navigate. As well, there is usually damage done to the rail system in this weather. And so, most people make their living trading in the unique wildlife. There are two small cities found in Obietnica; one is called Podróbka, a city in the South of the Kingdom, that has people coming through to trade from Conamar and Fracti Terra. The Northern city is much more isolated, and seems to force it's own survival. It is the capital, called Vitryme, a city with beautiful ice formations that they've worked into statues and other marvellous creations. Many people also travel to these Northern parts to see the magical Aesentia Borealis, a reflection in the snow crystals, in the light of the moon creates this beautiful display only seen in the North.

## Geography

This area gets its name from the large expanses of snow and rock that may go out as far as the eye can see, populated with copses of trees and large unmpapped spanses of frozen lakes, that are crossed without knowledge. The only two confirmed bodies of water is the Lady Ogień and the River Eirwen, both of these have thick layers of ice, that can be traversed upon underneath the frigid water flows. The large mountain range known as the Bariera Mountains sit between Podróbka and Vitryme and serve as the largest obstacle to travellers attempting to reach Vitryme, these mountains are lined with corpses, dying underneath a lightless sky. The sea around Obietnica is frozen in many places with large glaciers, making it impossible to traverse without an icebreaker style ship.

## Society

### Demographics

Most people who live in Obietnica are tough and hardy, using strength and cunning to survive. Almost all have to be able to hunt in some capacity to survive, as food takes a longer time to grow. There are many who offer services as a guide across the icy taundra, but this is treacherous and expensive work. The most sinister work of the country is the work of Carian Wolves who harvest dead Hunters for valuables including the remnants of *Red Deus* in a Hunters veins. The richest make a living selling the more unique things to be found within Obietnica, pure ice, anima skins and alchemical flora. While anyone is welcome to try and make a living in Obietnica mostly its those witha natural advantage who do, such as genasi, goliaths and tritons.

## History

### Introduction of Red Deus

This miracle elixir was first officially introduced in 156 - Red Era, however there is evidence of *Red Deus* showing up illegally within Podróbka before this time. The elixir has quickly became part of life, and famously Podróbka was one of the first places on the continent to turn it into a form of currency that is now widespread.

### The Beast Scourge

The attacks within Obietnica have been ferocious and hard to deal with, with the more usual *Beasts*, Lycanthropes and "Owlbears" wiping out small settlements across the country. The most historically relevant attack was when a troop of yeti, now believed to be led by a "Yeti" attacked Podróbka and was defended by its people led by the now folk hero Aesira the Allegiant.
