Incomplete Map. Reaching from 82.34°N south to 72.51°N, the area covers a remote and largely uncharted region in the Arctic, including portions of the Samoyad Peninsula, the northern coastline of Sakha, part of Trakkatch Dran, and the unmapped Islands of Aryania along the eastern edge. These lands are characterised by extreme cold, polar ice, and potentially unique ecosystems.

These lands would be considered a realm of great mystery and danger. To venture into this territory, explorers would require specialized knowledge of cold-weather survival, along with well-equipped expeditions consisting of skilled adventurers, cartographers, and perhaps even a few mystics or seers to guide them. The harsh climate, lack of knowledge about the terrain, and the inhabitants would make this expedition exceptionally challenging.
Still, the allure of discovering new lands and the potential for valuable resources or hidden wonders might drive adventurers to embark on such a perilous journey. They would hope to make significant geographic, mystical or magical discoveries in this remote and unexplored realm.
Hexes are 20 miles in diameter. Total area depicted equals 366,450 sq.m.
Topographical Feature
Buyan Islands
A remote archipelago shown on the left, the Buyan are marked by a stark geography and extreme Arctic climate. Comprising of the principal islands of Bolshe, Nauk and Oktyab, the land is known of its extremely cold temperatures, particularly during the winter months. The archipelago is blanketed in ice and snow for much of the year, and its climate is harsh, with extended, frigid winters and brief, cool summers. The surrounding waters are usually frozen for a significant portion of the year also.
Pronchis Mountains
The Pronchis Mountains are an eastern extension of the Byranga Plateau within Samoyadia, remote mountain range located in the Taymyr Peninsula, part of the Russian Arctic. Stretching approximately 400 kilometers in a north-south direction, these rugged mountains feature peaks reaching elevations of around 3,900 to 5,200 ft. Situated in an extreme Arctic climate, the region is marked by permafrost, sparse vegetation and glaciers.
Yukaghir Sea
Located between Samoyadia to the west and Trakkatch Dran to the south, this is a shallow section of the Arctic Ocean. It remains frozen, or nearly frozen the year-round, and it'ss not accessible from the west. The sea's depth doesn't exceed 12-13 fathoms, even well beyond the shore. The Yansk Sea, shown at the bottom right, is ice-free and suitable for navigation from the east during August and most of September. However, there's a possibility of pack ice and icebergs drifting in from the frozen western sea during this time.
Provinces
Samoyadia
The Kingdom of Samoyadia is a homeland of gnollish people located at the northernmost point of modern Siberia. The climate varies from very cold winters to cooler temperatures in July. The majority of the population consists of gnolls, but there are some norker clans along the border with Sakha. The wildlife in the area includes reindeer, wolves, polar bears, ermine, and migratory birds. Transhumance is a common practice among the abundant reindeer herds, which migrate to the foothills of the Pronchis Mountains during the summer and southwestward during the winter. This vast kingdom covers an area of 730.7 hexes and has a population of 15,625.
