To the immediate north of Keyforged lies nothing but sub-arctic scrubland. These moors are easy to walk through, and pleasant fragrances of near wildflowers and gatherable berries waft enticingly through the air. Along the western edge of the road can frequently be spotted bogs and fens, which call to them many woody-stemmed flora and thusly the fauna that feeds on them. Some fifty miles northeast lies the lake Gorm's Maw, which claims several species of woody shrubs and sedges to it's banks. The lake is fed by a river known as 'Oarsbane', which takes it's origin from a mountain range called Rigg's Spine. The road, terminating at the beginning of arctic tundra, runs through the valley of these intimidating mountains, some hundred miles away from Keyforged. The western edge of the mountains is flanked by a forest called The Fingers of Gorm, and is home to many boar, deer and other fauna. In the deepest regions of the north, there's communities of Frost Giants, the largest of which lays claim to a swathe of land suitable for farming hardy plants accustomed to the permafrost, and every harvest-tide feast is punctuated by the need to move the village, what they call Er-Ur's Fallow, as it exists in the spot where springtime's fields must be. Beyond that are seemingly impenetrable fields of ice, with glaciers encroaching on the spots these frost giants can live.
