Fjall
The Land of Song and Ice
Fjall is the heart of Zoa, its most populous province, where the land meets the Bay of Scripture in a sweeping embrace of fjords, cliffs, and black-pebbled shores. The bay takes its name from the oldest known writings of the Zoans, preserved in ink and stone within the libraries of Brugar. These texts, penned in Old Zoan, tell of an age when the land was wilder still, when spirits and mortals walked side by side.
The climate is cold but tempered by ocean currents, allowing great pine forests and hardy wildflowers to thrive even in winter’s grasp. Adrarctic cattle roam the meadows, their thick coats shielding them from the wind, while stormwing rocs nest high upon the craggy cliffs. Fishing villages cling to the coastline, where walrus hunters and sailors prepare for the season’s expeditions. Brugar, the province’s beating heart, is a city of towering halls and bustling markets, its port a gateway to the world beyond. Icepoint Hall, its unyielding fortress, gleams under layers of frost, its walls said to hold the echoes of past battles.
Though Fjall is the cultural center of Zoa, it is not a place of indulgence. Life here demands labour and loyalty. The guilds of Brugar train artisans in metalwork, shipbuilding, and leathercraft, each craft a pillar of the region’s economy. Music and dance are as much a part of the people’s identity as their trade—songs are sung to the tides, and rhythmic stomps echo through longhouses in the warmth of firelit feasts.
