The Seal Coast

This cold and rocky coast supports hundreds of thousands of seals, walruses, and seabirds during the summer months. Cliffs rise up along the coast, broken here and there by beaches that tend to be more rock than sand. The cliffs are home to hosts of seabirds, including gulls, ospreys, cormorants, frigate birds, puffins, and terns. Fur-bearing seals, as well as elephant seals, walruses, and sea lions, cover the shores. Fish, crabs, squid, krill, whales, and porpoises fill the seas.
A number of villages are perched on the shores of the Seal Coast, where folk descended from the original Uln live to this day, and so are sometimes referred to collectively as Ulnataland. These villages are called Alcanavt, Gualivik, Hranavik, Intulvik, Laquirv, and Norvagak. Long ago, the Cult of Althunak held sway over the Uln, but its grip was broken before the Heldring arrived in the north. Some say, however, that the cult’s adherents remain somewhere even farther north, deep in the tundra, where they plot their return.
Some scholars believe that the Seal Coast is not in fact part of the continent of Akados, but instead the shoreline of lost Boros, the homeland of the Hyperboreans, lost under the ice for thousands of years.
