View source for The Northlands

{{Categories|Geography}}
The northernmost part of [[Arginet]] is cold and windswept.  Rugged hills and damp pine forests characterise the land between the mountains and the sea.

== Notable features ==

=== Reynes ===

Reynes is the northernmost city in the realm and one of the most strongly defended.  Bandits, wolves, and worse roam the forests and mountains inland, but the walls and towers of the city keep its inhabitants safe in their homes.

Plentiful timber and ore from the hinterland feed a multitude of forges and smithies.  The smiths of Reynes are said to be the finest in Arginet, and on par with the best [[Na Rathanna|Rathanna]] artisans - and the witches there are acknowledged masters of binding spirits into all manner of anchors, from axes to amulets.

=== Carden Law ===

=== Chapel Moss ===

=== The Heart of Fire ===

Among the craggy mountains of the Northlands one peak stands out from the others by day or night: the Heart of Fire.  A lake of molten rock surrounded by strange formations of basalt bubbles and smokes at the summit; occasionally it bursts forth in a powerful eruption that symbolises the unpredictability of [[Fire]].  The lower flanks and slopes host shrines to the [[spirits]], each one built as an architectural marvel despite the knowledge that eventually the volcano will consume them.
