K'verhon
A continent of mixed climates. It's northern tip is capped by mountains and extreme cold, while its southern portion is relatively warm year-round. A large river runs perpendicular to the Kinti Forest, flowing out of K'verhon and into Hatahz'k where it feeds the Iswed.
Quantil
Quantil is a small village near the mountains at K'verhon's tip. It's people are hardy, though they fear the rabbit creatures that supposedly live in the San Toki mountain range. Most food must be bought from trading caravans. The men of the village are often out hunting, and will sometimes form nomad groups that follow elk in their migration with the hopes of bringing back much needed food to the village. All parts of a carcass are used, down to the last bone.
Fell tundra
The Fell tundra is a stretch of harsh, open land from the San Toki Mountain range to Asena's Meadow. There is little to no life here as the only water source is a small creek that often dips back into the ground without resurfacing for miles.
Asena's Meadow
The creek of the Fell Tundra resurfaces here as a smaller stream that flows through the meadow and into the Kinti forest. Creatures from the forest often venture into the meadow for a nice change in scenery. Asena herself is said to come here as well. The meadow itself stretches for two miles, every inch full of tall, gently waving gold grass.
Kinti Forest
The Kinti forest is a vast area of green. The stream from Asena's Meadow cuts it in half, gradually becoming the Yggdrasil River. most nonhuman creatures still in K'verhon live here, trusting its tall trees and thick foilage to hide them from the humans. Humans venturing into the forest stick to a path that runs close to the stream. There is a small tavern near the forest's center where they may rest...but the visitors aren't always human.
Yggdrasil River
The Yggdrasil river technically starts in the Fell Tundra, as the stream that flows through there. however, most refer to the Yggdrasil as the body of water that runs from the tip of the Kinti forest to Lake Iswed. It is a fast, cold, and merciless river, claiming at least four children in half a year. it claims even more 'brave' souls who try to cross it as a test of strength.
Hittavainen
hittavainen is the human's capital. large statues of Hittavainen, the god the city was named for, line the streets, leading to a huge tribute in the center of the city. The Yggdrasil River bends around the city, providing fish for those skilled in fishing its fast and harsh waters. The palace is on the other side of the city (from the Yggdrasil). The palace is a true tribute to the human's architectural abilities. Whenever a new technique is developed it is used to expand upon what has already been built.
