Hrafnawyld
Hrafnawyld is a large island off the northwest coast of Abhagan, and is home of the Wylden civilization. Before The Godswar, the entire landmass was part of Abhagan; the two were separated during the War in an event known to the Wylden as The Cleaving.
It is alternatively known, particularly by the Zendylite Empire, by the continental name of Ehrmegan.
Geography
Hrafnawyld is a large island with varied terrain. The southernmost Jórveifen of Sílfurlúnðr (Silverlands) and Súðejasvík are characterised by rolling hills, grassy plains, meadows, small woods, and extensive streams and rivers, making them ideal for agriculture and cultivation.
Further north and east, in Svartarfjallr (Black Mountains) Jórveif, the terrain is very mountainous and rocky, with extensive forests; however, the land south of the inhabited regions of Svartarfjallr drops off steeply to give way to the Great Black Sand, Svartargánæmörk, and to the north lies the mossy wasteland of the Green Desert Grænæmörk.
Northwest from Svartarfjallr, Hrafnafjorðen (Ravenfjords) Jórveif juts out into the northern ocean, full of mountains, sharp cliffs, fjords, ancient forests, and a large glacial sheet of ice, Hrafnajökull (Raven's Glacier). Its inhabitants mostly travel and communicate by water, as their are few usable land routes in this exceedingly rugged country.
Northeast from the Black Mountains lies the massive glacier of Icewall that constitutes most of the territory of Ísvalðjökull (Icewall Glacier) Jórveif. Though most of Icewall is a bleak landscape of ice, snow, and stone, there are isolated geothermal pockets and life-supporting rocky regions that allow the hardy Wylden population to survive. Even so, it is by far the least populated of the six Jórveifen.
Finally, in the extreme northeast is Norðrfjorðen (Northfjords) Jórveif, characterised by cold, ice fjords and chill, windswept tundras, with glacial rivers flowing throughout.
