Campaign Setting - Vaults of Pandius

Location: Continent of Brun, north of the Shimmering Lands.
Area: XXX sq. ft. (XXX sq. m.); additional notes if any
Population: Estimated XXX (X% human, X% dwarf, X% giantkin, X% other).
Languages: Several different dialects of Antalian are spoken by all races residing here, including
Valharian, Vanitarian, Aesinarian, as well as a smattering of others.
Coinage: Lower class Antalians rely on the barter system rather than on minted coins of any type. Ancient
coins still see some use, though they are coveted more as raw materials for jewelry making than anything
else. Gems see more use as a pure currency in the Winter Lands, and most Antalians are experts when it
comes to assessing their values.
Taxes: Antalians may collect coins in tribute from some of their neighbors (in return for not raiding their
settlements), however internally Antalian freemen are expected to devote 6 months of the year to raiding
with their Jarl. Spoils are divided evenly among the raiders, with 10% of the booty being paid to the Jarl
for expenses incurred.
Government Type: Elemental Monarchy (with an increasingly limited radius of control)
Industries: Raiding, slavery, trade goods, jewelry

Overview
The world may have ended in a rain fire, but its
resurrection was presaged in a blanket of ice. It is
from that ice that the Antalians were born.
Raiders ply the seas, the terror of coastal cities in
northern Brun and beyond, but the frozen ships
are merely the tip of the iceberg. The Winter
King and his court survey their shrinking domain
from the fabled city of Oltima Thaul, praying to
their gods for an eternal winter.
Geography
The frozen domain of the Winter King stretches
from the Inner Sea of Hawld, through the frozen
mountainous peaks of Wolid, and all the way to
the boreal forests of Geffron. Few longships set
sail in the Sea of Hawld except those doing trade
with the Shimmering Lands. The frigid and
choppy waters of the Janivarian Sea are more to
the Antalians liking.
The Halskur Bridge which reaches from the
frozen wilds of Brun to the northern Dawn Lands
marks their southernmost territory, though the
Antalians rarely ply its southern shores. Where
the Wyrmsteeth Mountains collide with the
Frozen Sea, the land of the Antalians comes to an
end. Not even their icy resolve is strong enough
to occupy lands further north.
Flora and Fauna
The northern realms of the Antalians are
dominated by massive glaciers and windswept
tundra. Boreal forests predominate most areas
where plant life does manage to take hold, and
the brief passage of the sun leaves the ground
frozen and solid even in the summer months.
Larger animals tend to flourish under these
conditions with herds of caribou and elk being the
most commonly encountered creatures, although
mammoth, wooly rhinos, and giant sloth are not
unheard of. Packs of wolves and lone flat nosed
bears roam the tundra, while ice drakes and the
occasional white dragon terrorize the skies.
Other cold loving creatures, including tribes of
giants, are not uncommon.
History
When the fires from the Great Rain had finally
burned themselves out, and the chill of winter
overtook the land, the ancestors of the Antalians
were nearly a destroyed people. While others
fled from the cold however, the Antalians
embraced the ice. Like the slow crushing march
