Wintersone

Wintersone is a large expanse of mostly uninhabitable land which sits at the top of the planet. It is covered in ice and barren rock. Along the southern coast is the Exile, where people who have committed the greatest crimes are sentenced to live. To the west, near Taltacia, there is a sliver of a land called the Hinterlands, where people have settled.

The Hinterlands
The Hinterlands is a sliver of land along the western coast of Wintersone where humans have settled. It is dry, arid, and constantly fog. Fishing is the source of food for Hinterlandians, who are notoriously private and unfriendly people who live in tribes along the coast.

The Exile
The Exile is the world's highest security prison, where the world's worst criminals are kept away to serve their sentence. It lies along the southern coast of Wintersone. It is operated by the Taltacian, Igrivan, and Kaprussian government under the Wintersone Agreement.

Wintersone Agreement
The Wintersone Agreement is a signed treaty by the queen of Taltacia and the kings of Igriva and Kapruss that assume responsibility for the operation and maintenance of The Exile

Zero Territory
The Zero Territory is comprised of all the remaining land of Wintersone that has not been claimed by the Hinterlandians or for use by the Exile. It is mountainous, snowy, and treacherous. Temperatures range in the extremes, making the coasts the only reasonable place on Wintersone that can sustain human life.
