Map B.02 - Lapland

Click to enlarge. Shows latitude 62.96° to 72.50° north; shows longitude at bottom of map between 14.19°E to 41.28°E. The orange line through the map indicates 30°E. Hexes are 20 miles in diameter. Numbers at the right indicate distance from the north pole in hexes; the direction of north is at the top right, so it must be noted the direction on the map turns 60° at the 30th meridian.

Land

The map depicts the whole of Archangel and Vastenjaur (Fieldland, Knollslan), with parts of Bjarmaland (Glu'Bak), Norway (Nordland, Troms), Nanbrun, Sweden (Angermanland, Etela, Lansi, Nysia) and Ulthua (Aenaria, Arjala, Egreliia, Finnemar, Kvenia, Laponia). The Gulf of Bothnia and the White Sea, as well as the coast of the Barents Sea, are frozen for many months of the year.

Peoples

The map includes gnomish populations in Fieldland, Knollslan and Nanbrun; an elvish population in Aenaria, Arjala, Egreliia, Finnemar, Kvenia and Laponia; a halfling population in Archangel; human populations in Angermanland, Etela, Lansi, Nordland, Nysia and Troms; and gnoll populations in Glu'Bak. Parts of the Scandinavian mountains at the top of the map are known to be occupied by stone giants.

Historically, numerous wars have been waged between Sweden and Ulthua, though there have been no formal hostilities in more than a century. Raids upon Archangel and Egreliia by gnolls take place to this day. Regardless, a significant trade in timber and other raw materials is shipped through the Gulf of Bothnia from Randparn, Lulea, Ulea and Vasa to greater ports throughout the Baltic Sea. During the summer, Archangel is the most important port in northern Europe, having access to valuable furs and rare metals from distant Moscovy and the Ural Mountains.
