The Ironlands
LocationsA wild expand of icy wastelands, nations began sending their criminals, outcasts, and unwanteds to Ironlands far to the North centuries ago. The people so banished to the Ironlands formed a society unto themselves, and as they did so the land began to drift away from the world leaving a magical rift between it and the lands its peoples once called home in their deep past. As the rift between the Ironlands and the world has become stronger and larger, it has become harder to pass from one to the other.
Magic in the Ironlands is not the result of study or a harnessing of the arcane. Instead it is practiced by mystics who have special connections with the spirit or natural worlds. As such, magic is less common in the Ironlands than elsewhere and is considered a mystery by its people. Those who practice magic in the Ironlands are often considered witches, though they are accepted in society.
There are few, if any, deities that hold sway in the Ironlands. Rather, the people look to Fate as their Goddess.
