Skjoldar — The Iron North
in Geography of Aesos“They laugh at death as if it were a drinking companion.”
Hardy seafarers of frozen fjords, bound by clan honor and driven by the hunger for glory and survival against the creeping Desolation.
“North across the grey seas lies Skjoldar, a realm of iron cliffs and louder hearts. They drink as they fight — fiercely, laughing at death’s shadow. To them the Desolation is not horror but a challenge, and I think, were the world to burn, Skjoldar’s longboats would still sail its ashes in search of glory.”
