The Frigid Tundra
The Frigid Tundra was the expansive snowy tundra north of the Kingdom of Corgath. Geographically, it contained all of the flatland between Himavat's Bay, Wolfpaw Forest, and the Phayu Wing Mountains. This northeastern stretch of Hohm was always covered in snow, and had sparse vegetation.
Originally, this land was ruled (loosely) by the Cuprum Kingdom. Following its sudden collapse, this land was further colonized by its successor nation, the Corgathian Kingdom. After heavy blows suffered during Demon Wars, Corgath mostly released its control over the area, instead prioritizing the more habitable southern reaches of its domain.
A few settlements (Last Stand and Chillholde) remained after the Demon Wars. Ownership over the Phayu Wing Mountain Range and its crown jewel, The Snowy Mountain, was famously warred over by both Corgath and Phovezila. Other settlements, such as Frostfjord and Kaldrefell, were destroyed in the Demon Wars.

- Corgath to Last Stand (Wolfpaw Forest) = 330 miles = 13.75 days
- Stoneport to Last Stand (Wolfpaw Forest) = 114 miles = 4.75 days
- The Snowy Mountain to Kaldrefell = 78 miles = 3.25 days
- Chillholde to Kaldrefell = 120 miles (uncharted) = 5 days, but closer to 10 due to the challenging terrain

Lake Duratus #
Lake Duratus, like the rest of the Frigid Tundra, was always frozen with a thick layer of ice up to 4 meters thick. It lay on the border of Wolfpaw Forest and was fed by Lake Vatinsvelle. It flowed, if you could say that, into the mouth of Himavat's Bay.
Frostfjord #
Frostfjord was Corgath's northernmost settlement, and was destroyed during the Demon Wars
Last Stand #
Last Stand was a Corgathian logging town that lay just outside Wolfpaw Forest.
