 '''[[Bothnia (gulf)|Gulf of Bothnia]].'''  A northern arm of the Baltic Sea, the gulf is brackish and experiences extreme seasonal variations, with ice covering its surface during harsh winters, sometimes used as a vital ice road for transportation.  In summer, the gulf is a source of livelihood for coastal communities.  Trade with the Baltic is strategically important for the timber and furs that are exported to all of Europe.
-'''[[Barents Sea]].'''  This vast part of the Arctic Ocean extends from Scandinavia to the archipelago of Svalbard.  Characterized by its extreme cold, icy conditions, and relatively high salinity compared to other Arctic seas, the Barents is home to a diverse marine ecosystem, including seabirds, seals, and various fish species; monsters include [[Kraken|kraken]] and [[Sea Serpent|sea serpents]].  Naught travels beyond the sea's coast except whaling ships, while few ships enter the sea's small Norwegian and Ulthuan ports.

 '''[[White Sea]].'''  Located as an arm of the Barents Sea, the sea is bordered by the rugged coastlines of the Kola Peninsula.  Due to its unusually low salinity, the body of water is a unique brackish environment.  In winter, it freezes over, creating a breathtaking ice-covered landscape that is both picturesque and challenging for navigation.  A far-reaching trading route connects the sea with England and Holland.

 '''Fennoscandian shield.'''  Spanning nearly all the land on the map, this ancient landscape is dominated by boreal forests, countless lakes, and countless rivers, including the mighty River Kemi. This area is a remote and sparsely populated frontier.  The varied wildlife population includes reindeer, brown bears, gray wolves, wolverines, arctic foxes, lynxes, moose and beavers; monsters include [[Troll|trolls]], [[Giants|giants]], [[Treant|treants]] and [[Worg|worgs]].  The topography is a mix of taiga, coniferous forests and tundra, with permafrost and extremely harsh weather conditions.
-'''Scandinavian mountains.'''  A dramatic and rugged natural barrier that stretches along the western border of Vastenjaur, dividing it from the fjords of [[Troms]] and [[Nordland]], reaching into [[Finnemar]] and [[Laponia]].  With imposing peaks, deep valleys and pristine alpine landscapes, these are particularly striking during the winter months when they are covered in snow.  The highest peak in this range is Mount Galdhøpiggen, standing at 8,100 ft., making it the highest mountain in both Norway and Northern Europe; peaks like it are characterized by rocky terrain and are often capped with glaciers and snowfields, especially during the colder months.

 '''Khibany mountains.'''  A prominent mountain range located in the Kola Peninsula, distinct for their striking topography and unique geological composition.  The mountains are notable for their steep, rocky slopes and unusual rock formations, amid a rugged, craggy terrain, deep valleys and numerous alpine lakes.  The highest peak is Yudychvumchorr, which reaches an elevation of about 3,940 ft.

 '''[[Ulthua]].'''  Elvish principality; consists of six provinces: the great thann of [[Aenaria]], and the thanns of [[Arjala]], [[Egreliia]], [[Finnemar]], [[Kvenia]] and [[Laponia]].  Includes lands that were originally occupied during the [[Bronze Age]] by the elvish empire of [[Age of Colyan-Ar|Colyan-Ar]], which collapsed.  Ulthua was raised and reorganised some 1,500 years ago.
