Farlands

### Summary

The Farlands are frozen in time, not literally, but the vast landscape is encased in a blanket of snow year-round, its only season being the great winter. But this has not stopped life from finding its way to bring beauty to the Farlands, the biggest island in the Isles. Trees and plants have still found their way to bloom out of the ice-hard ground, giving life to plant-eaters like the bulwark mammoth, moose, and rabbits, who are hunted by for example bears, arctic tigers, and packs of wolves. And into this mix of nature clashing are the Farlands inhabitants, who have enjoyed the beauties of these white lands for thousands of years. Monkes have adapted to the cold climate with their fluffy white fur that blends into the climate. Yetis are tall folk who are able to wander across the deep snow with ease, thanks to their tall posture, and able to fight the wildest of animals with their brute strength. Arctic Chimps, they were cave-dwelling monkes who grew wealthy on the materials of their rich mountains, and went on an isle-wide conquest. And that's only a few examples, with many diverse, mostly northern-blood species roaming the various regions of this colossal island.

### Geographics

The Farlands are split into 4 separate areas, at the bottom is the Yettin Lands, at the bottom left there is Hardal, stretching across the center is the Bulwark Lands, and to the far north is the Realm of Vøria.

#### Yettin Lands

The most populated and well-known one is the Yettin Lands which is located at the bottom of the snowy isle. Records of Yetis living in these lands have been found all the way back to 11 500 BLC, they were never really noteworthy until around ~1500 BLC when King Yetnar the First King united the tribes of the Yettin Lands and founded the Yeti Kingdom. Great ranges of mountains that touch the clouds run throughout the Farlands, and are often what separates the areas. There is an abundance of essential and rare minerals in these mountain chains that the northern tribe mine, and it's one of their main exports in trade.

#### Hardal

The smallest of the regions both size and population-wise is separated from the others by the White Peaks mountain range that also separates the Yettin Lands from the Bulwark Lands. There are a couple of small forests, but what dominates it are valleys and plains. The name Hardal means Valleys of Hares in the language of the Yeti, with hares being very prominent in the region.

#### Bulwark Lands

The largest region in the Farlands, with Vøria close second behind it. It is separated from the Yettin Lands in the south with the Whitepeaks, and the Kingdom of Vøria up north with the Vørian Ward. In the middle of it lies a great lake, and surrounded by it are vast snow-covered forests. There are also vast plains you can very easily get lost in, examples like Mammoth Country & the Snow Steppes.

The main demographic is Brödvarl, similar to Yettin, but a little bit taller and thicker fur. They are gentle giants and do not have a warrior-like culture like their southern brothers in the Yettin Lands. The Council of Brödvarl (A Jarl in the Bulwark Lands) is what rules over this region.

#### Kingdom of Vøria

Also just known as Vøria, it's the realm of Arctic Chimps, a species that reside under the ground in the deep caverns that run throughout the mountain chains up in the cold north. The Arctic Chimps of Vøria would 219 ALC lead multiple military expansion campaigns all over the Isles, leading to the great war known as Conquest of Vøria. Armies of tribes that wanted to put an end to their conquest (including their Yeti neighbors in the Yettin Lands) lead a massive invasion into the Arctic Chimp realm, defeating the empire and killing their king known as Tzar, who would be ''The Last to Rule'' according to ancient prophecies.

After their defeat, the Arctic Chimp species would be on a heavy decline. The Yeti Kingdom would lay claim to the Kingdom of Vøria and assert King Snownose the Arctic Proboscis as its leader. This would result in an influx of varying northern species moving to this region..

### Demographics

The Farlands are populated by various species that have adapted to living in the north, such as Yetis and Arctic Gorillas. The biggest population in the Farlands is the Yetis, with Arctic Proboscis following as second. The Kingdom of Vøria, populated by Arctic Chimps, had a relatively large population which would heavily decline after losing a war known as the Conquest of Vøria, with many of its citizens fleeing north past the End of the World, a massive cloud of fog that surrounds the Isles.
