The Northern Forest is a region in the Northern Continent, between the Storm Region and the Lower Tundra. Most of the region is a gigantic taiga. Only 20% of the area is not covered in trees, some of this due to a few frozen lakes. This area is always covered in snow. The northernmost human settlements lie in the middle of this region, and they are rare. Most settlements are small mining villages. It is a harsh land where only the strong survive. Blizzards are common.
