Haukdalur
Haukdalur is a province where towering stone formations and an unforgiving landscape shape both its geography and culture. Snow-covered plains stretch beneath jagged rock faces, icy rivers carve through the land, and frozen waterfalls glisten like glass under the moonlight. Despite the isolation and bitter cold, Haukdalur remains a stronghold of yergralffe heritage, where ancient traditions endure and monumental structures define the province’s identity.
Raudugar, Grangar, and Hraftvroga – Thriving under the presence of the stone stacks, these cities remain bastions of yergralffe culture, where sacred rites and ancestral gatherings take place.
Stamtur – The political and ceremonial centre of Haukdalur. Originally meant to be a temporary capital, it has since become the seat of power for the Jaagr, where leaders meet to settle disputes under the watchful gaze of the Stonemen.
Adrarctic Cattle – Sturdy and resilient, they graze on the sparse tundra, providing a crucial food source.
White-Furred Lynx – Agile predators that prowl the land, preying on snow lemurs in the deep drifts.
Rimehorn Stag – A towering beast and a symbol of survival, its presence dominates the frozen landscape.
Woolly Boars – Vital to the people of Haukdalur, these thick-furred creatures supply meat, hides, and crafting materials.
The Stonemen of Hauk
Central to Haukdalur’s history are the Stonemen of Hauk, massive cairn-like structures rising over 30 feet in height. Built by the yergralffe in ancient times, these towering stone stacks mark areas of great importance, serving as both landmarks and cultural hubs. Cities have grown around them, their development shaped by the alignment and significance of the Stonemen. These structures are more than symbols—they are centres for trade, ceremony, and heritage. The large gaps at their bases are used for furnaces and forges, where the cold air is warmed by the fires of industry and tradition. During key ceremonies and gatherings, the Stonemen become the focal points for pyres and festival lights, illuminating the dark nights of Haukdalur.Settlements & Governance
