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

			Northerners tend to see themselves as somewhat apart from other Arginese. Many families claim to have inhabited the island since even before the time of [[King Estienne]], a claim considered absurd or even blasphemous by some southerners. Certainly the rule of Kellewick was not always welcome here; in the second century, both noble and commoner rose up against the weak King Enguerrand I in a revolt that was not ended for two years.

			Time and the slow mixing of peoples have changed things, and for centuries now the Northlands have been as loyal as any other part of the realm. Nonetheless, some cultural peculiarities remain. Northerners place great stock in hospitality and treat guests with the highest honour - a tradition that sometimes even overrides the distinctions of [[social class]]. Their arts and crafts are also noted for the rich variety of patterns they incorporate in cloth, embroidery, and metalwork.

			The town of Chapel Moss is surrounded by a dense and dark forest. The finest timber in the realm is felled here, dragged overland or floated down the slow-flowing Mosswater. But fierce beasts lurk in the woods and marshes, and since [[the Breaking]], their numbers have been swelled by new and alien creatures that prey upon the unwary.
