The Suthrvegar Plains
Home of the Bruintaur
The Suthrvegar Plains are not quite the same flat rolling plains that many would think. They are relatively flat compared to the mountains, but visibility in most places is less than a mile. Since the coming of the dragons, they've become permafrost and devoid of most plant life. What plant life is found is primarily coniferous trees, molds and lichen.
The plains are split, with an ocean between the two. The Bruintaur have names for the two plains. The eastern peninsula, and the islands off it, are known as the Östra Grönskande. The western peninsula is known as the Västra Lågland.
The Östra Grönskande
The Östra Grönskande can be split by following the high point at it's center, towards the tip. Along that high point runs one of the largest rivers in Kaernest. The entire peninsula is covered with many rivers; those south of the Bjornelv flow out to the sea. Most rivers north of the Bjornelv flow from the Skandekull down toward the Bjornelv, but some do flow toward the Verdeggiante Bay.
The Västra Lågland
Where The Östra Grönskande is covered by rivers, The Västra Lågland is covered by low hills and lakes (or "sjos" as their known). The land around the sjos is commonly steep, and the sjos themselves are often deeper than would be expected.
The Visokyzh Mountains
Home of the Dazhdvog
While the Spine of the World is a large and formidable mountain range, the Visokyzh Mountains are by far the tallest mountains in the world. The Dazhdvog live at the surface in many of the valleys, and deep within the these mountains.
Montport - City of the Bruintaur
Montport is something of an oddity. As the Bruintaur are almost completely nomadic, for them to have a city is odd at best. A trained eye would quickly pick out the features in the city that give away it's Dazhdvog craftsmanship. The city was built before the time of the dragons, and represents an old, long-lasting friendship between the Bruintaur and the Dazhdvog.
