Northwest Fingers
Named for the appearance that this this frontier of Tarien makes on a map, the Northwest fingers consists of four different areas. Its two fingers - the Nerrid and White Talon are among the largest on continent. Smaller peninsulas, Dekkin's and Naar's Points jut into the Darsiac Ocean in the far west. Numerous smaller spits of land extend from these major peninsulas, the most notable of which being Olaf's Wand which dangles in the cold waters of the Great North Sea. And in the center, an anchor of all four, is the vast golden waves of grass known as the Malpighien Steppes.
With plenty of moisture blowing onto the various peninsulas from their surrounding oceans and seas, gulfs and bays, forests have grown up thickly. As one travels north the great sequoias of the Talizar the Deerpath Woods give way to the cedars and pines of the Snowden Forests. Summers grow shorter as well, leaving much of the northern White Talon blanketed in snow until well nearly Midsummer’s Day.
Civilization has long taken root in the region, with the Zennonaize Confederacy dating back nearly two millennia. More recently founded, though only because of its succession from the Confederacy, is the Citystate of Gartcha, of the continents great crossroads. Oldest of all, of course, is the strange and magical land of the Nerrid Alliance which claims the entire Nerrid Peninsula as its territory, despite having only a few scattered settlements on it.
